Azure Cloud Shell
Overview
In November 2017, Microsoft made Azure Cloud Shell with bash generally available, and made PowerShell modules generally available in October 2018. Azure Cloud Shell provides a browser-based shell to run bash and PowerShell cmdlets and scripts to manage Azure resources.
Azure Cloud Shell provides an interactive experience that uses role-based access control (RBAC) to provide access based on permissions. This provides users with a cloud-native command-line environment from any device, anywhere in the world. On the back end, Microsoft assigns a free VM for each user who runs Cloud Shell. This same VM is presented to the user via the tool they are using to access the service.
