$account = Get-VBRAzureAccount -Type ResourceManager -Name "AzureRM@tech.com"

$subscription = Get-VBRAzureSubscription -Account $account

$location = Get-VBRAzureLocation -Subscription $subscription

$VMs = Get-VBRAzureVM -Subscription $subscription -Location $location

$scope = New-VBRAzureContainer -Subscription $subscription -Location $location -Entity $VMs

Perform the following steps:
