Navigating Azure in Command Line Interface (CLI)

Navigating the Azure Environment

 

      

        Azure is a public cloud computing platform—with solutions including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) that can be used for services such as analytics, virtual computing, storage, networking, and much more. 

        You can manage your azure environment using PowerShell and Bash commands. You can manage azure seamlessly in CLI completing task like updates, and tracking down important system information. (Click on the video below for an in depth look at these concepts played out in PowerShell and Bash.)

        

        The Azure CLI allows for user configuration for settings such as logging, data collection, and default argument values. The CLI offers a convenience command for managing some defaults, az config , and an interactive option through az init . Other values can be set in a configuration file or with environment variables.
