    Azure Management Tools


    Accessing Azure

    Azure can be accessed and managed through:

    • Azure Classic Portal

    • Azure ARM portal

    • Azure Resource Manager

    • Client Tools like

      • PowerShell

      • Azure CLI

      • Visual Studio with Azure SDK for .NET


    Client Tools

    While Azure portals provide a GUI for managing your Azure subscriptions and services, in some scenarios, these portals may not offer the most optimal management capabilities.

    For teams that want to perform service management in an automated fashion by using REST API and creating scripts for repetitive or cumbersome administrative tasks, Azure offers options like:

    • Azure PowerShell modules - to run scripts from Windows.

    • Azure command-line interface (CLI) - to run scripts on all operating systems like Windows, Linux, and macOS.
