Azure Automation has been migrated to new Azure resource manager portal at https://portal.azure.com. If you happen to open Azure Automation accounts in Classic portal, you would see a message like below:

To start with Azure Automation, first of all, you need to create an Azure Automation account. For this, login to new Azure Portal with your credentials. Go to more services -> search box. Start typing automation and it will find out automation account for you:

Click on automation accounts and it will open up a new blade. Select Add button in the new blade and it will open a new blade further. Fill up in the required details:

You can choose to create a new resource group for it or select an already existing group. Also select location for it. Do note that location of resource group and azure automation account should be same. After this click create. It will take a couple of minutes to provision account.
You can get list of automation accounts using Powershell cmdlet Get-AzureRMAutomationAccount:

You can use Set-AzureRMAutomationAccount cmdlet to set tags for or change plan for an Automation account:
$tags = @{"tag01"="Southeast Asia"; "tag02"="RnD"; "tag03"="Hongkong"} Set-AzureRmAutomationAccount -Name AzureAutomationRndD -Tags $tags -ResourceGroupName rnddevsoutheastasia
Below are the PowerShell modules which are by default available in an automation account:
Azure Azure.Storage AzureRM.Automation AzureRM.Compute AzureRM.Profile AzureRM.Resources AzureRM.Sql AzureRM.Storage Microsoft.PowerShell.Core Microsoft.PowerShell.Diagnostics Microsoft.PowerShell.Management Microsoft.PowerShell.Security Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility Microsoft.WSMan.Management Orchestrator.AssetManagement.Cmdlets
You can view the same using Get-AzureRmAutomationModule cmdlet.
[…] If you do not already have a azure automation account, login into azure and create one azure automation account. […]
