Automate AzureAD Configuration and Deployment

[shockotechcom]

Hey all, new to Azure/AzureAD and coming from AWS. In AWS we automated everything after account set from configuration of IAM to network security. Starting with AzureAD I find:

• Muddled view of CLI tools
  • Azure CLI
  • Powershell and Powershell Previews
  • MSOnline
• MS Graph API not so well documented and lots of stuff in Beta

I also find I have to manually configure a lot of the elements in AzureAD directly in the UI. Since we don't seem to have any config backup options in AzureAD this is worrying me! What happens if a rouge script/admin blows away some config! 🙂

Backup is indeed something that is currently not implemented into AAD and I understand your concern.
Other enterprise create their own scheduled tasks to backup through Graph API

@Thijs Lecomte thanks for this but looking through Graph some config items don't seem to be documented. Is there a central reference for all AzureAD items in Graph?

I mostly use the official Graph docs.
They are a bit to navigate at first but they get used to it.
You would want the Identity bit - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/azure-ad-overview?view=graph-rest-1.0
