Description

Using a Hybrid Worker Group in Azure Automation Account allows organizations to manage remote machines and execute automation tasks across both cloud and on-premises environments. The Hybrid Worker Group consists of one or more Hybrid Workers that are installed on machines outside of Azure and can execute PowerShell scripts, Python scripts, or graphical runbooks locally. This provides a scalable and flexible solution for running automation tasks in a hybrid environment, without the need to deploy Azure Virtual Machines for every task. The benefits of using Hybrid Worker Group include reduced latency, improved security, and easier management of on-premises machines.

Understanding of Azure Automation offering
Working with Hybrid Workers in Azure Automation
Writing and understanding PowerShell script to interact with Active Directory
