Why this PowerShell Module

At the moment there is no documented API, ARM or PowerShell module to configure Azure Sentinel. After doing some research we were able to find the API's that are currently being used by the Azure Portal and based on that we've written a PowerShell module to manage Azure Sentinel through PowerShell.
