F5 BIG-IQ Virtual Edition single instance powershell script

This script will deploy a single instance F5 BIG-IQ VE on Azure across 2 subnets, with a public ip address and a storage account.

Before you run the script, make sure you have created a destination resource group container and ensure that you have registered the product on your destination subscription.

I have updated the script with the following:

Updated line 38 to the newer New-AzPublicIpAddress command,
Updated line 54 -PublisherName to -Publisher command,
Commmented out line 64 to 67 (due to pre registration completed in step 3),
Increased the disk size on line 17 to 120gb (due to new Azure baseline requirements),
I also introduced ResourceGroup2 into the script to avoid all the new F5 BIG-IQ resources being deployed into the virtual network resource group,

Update the following script and run in powershell:

# Provide values for the variables
# instance name

$bigiqInstance = 'allen-f5-big-iq'					

#Optional login if not already done so 
#Login-AzureRMAccount

						
#vnet resource group 
$resourceGroup = 'allen-vnet'

#Ive introduced a 2nd resource stack resource group container
$ResourceGroup2 = "allen-f5-big-iq-stack"
$location = 'uaenorth'
$vmSize = 'Standard_B2ms'
$diskSizeGB = '120'
