Improve PowerShell scripting with Azure integration
summary
Connects two on‑prem VMs to Azure as Azure Arc machines, installs the connected machine agent, and registers them as a hybrid worker group so runbooks run offsite with built‑in high availability using two nodes. Demonstrates creating an Automation Account with a ~40‑line Bicep file, migrating to managed identities, and using PowerShell for onboarding and extensions. Builds a live demo environment (two VMs) and it works, notes manual module install on hybrid workers today and upcoming runtime environments that will push modules to workers.
