How microsoft/windows-server-azure-lab works
This repository is a self-paced Azure lab, not an executable application. The learner follows Exercise 1 to deploy IIS virtual machines, then uses those VMs in Exercises 2–5 for gateway, monitoring, backup, and security tasks; Exercise 6 is independent. The graph follows the README’s stated exercise goals and dependencies; no source excerpts were provided, so relationships are limited to those documented there.
