Create a list in SPSite and Updating list using powershell

$inputsite = "https://SiteUrl"
$list = "OneDriveUrl"
$tenantAdminsite = "https://Tenant-admin.sharepoint.com"
$username = "User@Tenant.onmicrosoft.com"
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "Password" -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList ($username, $password)

$tenant = Connect-Site  -url $tenantAdminsite -Credential $cred
$site = Connect-PnPOnline -Url $inputsite -Credentials $cred

$listitems = (Get-PnPListItem -List $list -Fields "Title","Status","ID").FieldValues

foreach($item in $listitems)
{
    $email = $item["Title"]
    $status = $item["Status"]
    $ID = $item["ID"]

    if($status -eq "Ready")
    {
    $odurl = Get-OneDriveUrl -Email $email -Tenant $tenant -ProvisionIfRequired
    Set-PnPListItem -List $list -Identity $ID -Values @{"Status" = "Completed";"OD_x0020_url" = $odurl}
    }


}

Creating AZUREVM Using Powershell

$passwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "Password" -AsPlainText -Force

$username = "Tenant ID"

$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList ($username, $passwd)

$connect = Connect-AzureAccount  -Credential $cred -TenantId "ecfe8182-3217-4e0b-9fb1-f8ad05aaca36" 

New-AzVm -ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroup" -Name "myVM" `
    -Location "EastUS" `
    -VirtualNetworkName "myVnet" `
    -SubnetName "mySubnet" `
    -SecurityGroupName "myNetworkSecurityGroup" `
    -PublicIpAddressName "myPublicIpAddress" `
    -OpenPorts 80,3389 `
    -size "Standard_D4s_v3"

Stop-AzVM `
   -ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroup" `
   -Name "myVM" -Force

Start-AzVM `
   -ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroup" `
   -Name "myVM"

Remove-AzVM `
   -ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroup" `
   -Name "myVM"

We can “Stop” the VM.

We can “Start” the VM.

We can also “Remove” the VM.
