We have gone through the basics, the layout, the data centres of Azure in our previous articles. We will be covering as how to interact with Azure, be it a UI or a CLI. Please go through previous articles if you want to learn more about Azure basics and the services it is offering to different companies.

Interacting with Azure

Azure could be interacted with a lot of different ways, which depends upon the user expertise, it could be with the help of GUI, CLI or even APIs, let's look into some of the ways to interact with Azure
  • Azure portal(GUI)
  • Azure Powershell
  • Azure Command Line interface(CLI)
  • Azure SDKs
  • Azure Cloud Shell
  • Azure Mobile app

Azure Portal

  • More of a GUI portal.
  • Those who are not much comfortable with SDKs, CLI, bash commands can go for GUI and create or maintain resources initially to start with.
  • You can customise the GUI as per your needs
  • Provides Dashboard to user keep track of the activities
  • Dashboard could be shared with multiple team members
  • Roles could be provided or revoked using RBAC

Azure Powershell

  • Scripting environment for Azure.
  • Technical command expertise is needed.
  • For example, a Virtual machine can be created using command -New-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "MyResourceGroup" -Name "TestVm" -Image "UbuntuLTS" Where resource group name is "MyResourceGroup", Name of the VM is "testVm" and it is using Ubuntu OS.
