0004-New-AzureRmVmAvailabilitySetPsg

1.1.0.10

This script creates an availability set of 1-4 Windows Server 2016 VMs with Network Security Groups for RDP access. In this script, these machines will be deployed with using the ABC[DC]## convention,
where ABC is the 3 letter airport code of the location, DC indicates that these machines can subsequently be configured as domain controllers, and ## represents the sequence numbers, i.e. 01, 02, etc.
Please note that this script was not designed to run as an Azure Automation Workflow Script, so if the "Deploy to Azure Automation"
button is used, the script will be added to the automation account as a workflow item, but should not be expected to execute as a workflow script, but can
be launched directly from a jump VM in Azure as a native PowerShell script if desired. Azure resources will be created as part of an initial process of building a functional environment
consisting of compute, storage and netorking components. Since this script will be used primarily for demonstration purposes, additional comments, logging and verbose console output have been included.
