WVD Scale session hosts Without using Azure Automation

There is a lot of stuff to study to use Azure Automation.
Therefor I Write a simple PowerShell Script to manage the Scaling of WVD Pool.

You have to use the script with saved credential. (Reference)

######## Script Start ########

$ResourceGroupName = 'WVD_Infrastructure'; # ResourceGroup that contains HostPool 

$WorkDayTimeStart = '08:30';

$WorkDayTimeEnd = '18:30';

$WorkTimeAvailableSessionThreshold = 2; #New VM will Start if remain this session only

$RestTimeAvailableSessionThreshold = 0; #New VM will Start if remain this session only

$CredentailFileName = "AzCredential.txt";

Get CPU Utilization Average of a VM in WVD HostPool in time period

$TimePeriod = 30;
$ResourceGroupName = 'ResourceGroupName';
$HostPoolName = 'HostPoolName';

#-------------------------------

$EndTime = Get-Date;
$StartTime = $EndTime.addminutes(-$TimePeriod)

Get-AzWvdUserSession -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -HostPoolName $HostPoolName | select UserPrincipalName,ActiveDirectoryUserName,ApplicationType,Name,SessionState

$HostPool = $(Get-AzWvdSessionHost -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -HostPoolName $HostPoolName);

ForEach ($HostName in $HostPool) {
$CPUUtilizationSum = 0;
        $HostCPUUtilization = Get-AzMetric -ResourceId $HostName.ResourceId -MetricNames "Percentage CPU"  -TimeGrain 00:01:00 -DetailedOutput -StartTime $StartTime -EndTime $EndTime; $HostCPUUtilization.Data.Average.ForEach({$CPUUtilizationSum += [int]$_;}); $CPUUtilizationAverage = ($CPUUtilizationSum / $HostCPUUtilization.Data.Average.Length) write-host ('' + $HostName.Name + "`t" + $CPUUtilizationAverage);
};

Update Azure-NSG (Network Security Group) Policy with PowerShell

 Prerequest: 

1. Install-Module -Name Az
2. Connect-AzAccount
3. NSG Name begin with OOOO_ (Notice there is a '_' after NSG Name)

Behavior:

1. Search the old NSG with 'NSG Name_'
2. Ensure there is only ONE NSG with 'NSG Name_'
3. Create a new NSG with 'NSG Name_' plus Date Time and priority start from 201 (can be adjust)
4. Check if the new NSG created successfully
5. Find All NICs connect to the Old NSG
6. Migrate All NICs found to the New NSG
7. Remove Old NSG

Sample:

1. Allow outbound connect to Azure WVD Service
2. Allow outbound connect to 192.168.0.1
3. Allow inbound connect from 192.168.0.1 only

$Password = ConvertFrom-SecureString -SecureString $Credential.Password -Key (1..16)
