Azure Automation Account

Azure Automation Account is a container that holds various automation assets, including runbooks, configurations, and shared resources. It serves as the foundation for automating the management and deployment of Azure resources and on-premises systems. Runbooks are scripts or workflows that automate repetitive tasks, such as resource provisioning, patch management, and configuration updates. The Automation Account also supports configuration management through Desired State Configuration (DSC) and integrates with other Azure services for seamless automation. By using an Azure Automation Account, organizations can streamline operations, reduce manual effort, and ensure consistency in their IT environment.
