Azure Cloud Shell

Microsoft's Azure Cloud Shell is a Microsoft-managed admin machine in Azure, for Azure, that provides authenticated shell access to Azure from virtually anywhere.

Users can connect to Azure using an authenticated, browser-based shell experience that’s hosted in the cloud and accessible from virtually anywhere. Azure Cloud Shell is assigned per unique user account and automatically authenticated with each session. It provides a command-line experience from multiple access points, including the Azure portal, shell.azure.com, Azure mobile app, Azure docs (e.g. Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell), and VS Code Azure Account extension.

Cloud Shell offers an integrated file editor built on the open-source Monaco Editor. Simply run "code." in Cloud Shell to enter a lightweight file editing experience integrated directly into the Cloud Shell window. Create and edit files that will be automatically synced to backing Azure Files share.
