Azure PowerShell

PowerShell is a cross-platform CLI management tool for interacting with Azure resources. This tool can be used instead of the GUI of the Azure portal or desktop/mobile apps for creating and managing your Azure environments. Azure PowerShell is a module that's installed as part of Windows PowerShell; the Az PowerShell module contains a set of cmdlets (pronounced as commandlets) for PowerShell that allow you to manage resources from within PowerShell directly at the CLI without the need to access the portal.

PowerShell is a popular management tool when the focus is on Windows systems and is designed for complex automation tasks. It can be used interactively, meaning commands can be entered manually by typing them directly into the shell command prompt. Providing cross-platform support (from PowerShell Core 6.x and PowerShell 7.x) means that you can install and use the PowerShell Az module on Windows, Linux, or macOS to interact with your Azure environments.
