First script is PowerShell to repath a scene file from Windows to Linux, package all the assets, upload them, create a VM, and open an SSH session.
Script number two is run in said session. It downloads the project, extracts it to the right folders, kicks off a render, uploads the results and shuts down the VM when done.
This particular script is for Maya, but it should work similarly with any other DCC or renderer.
I censored a few potentially sensitive Azure tokens and paths. Feel free to ask about anything and share your solutions too!
