How to Use Azure PowerShell to Manage Your Azure Resources

Azure PowerShell is a powerful tool that you can use to manage your Azure resources. It is a module that you add to Windows PowerShell or PowerShell Core to enable you to connect to your Azure subscription and manage resources.

Azure PowerShell provides hundreds of cmdlets that let you control nearly every aspect of every Azure resource. You can work with the following features, and more:

Resource groups
Storage
VMs
Azure AD
Containers
Machine learning

To use Azure PowerShell, you first need to install it. You can do this by following the instructions on the Microsoft Azure website.

Once you have installed Azure PowerShell, you can connect to your Azure subscription by running the following command:

Connect-AzAccount


This command will prompt you to enter your Azure account credentials.

Once you are connected to your Azure subscription, you can start using Azure PowerShell to manage your resources. For example, to create a new virtual machine, you would run the following command:

New-AzVm ` -ResourceGroupName "CrmTestingResourceGroup" ` -Name "CrmUnitTests" ` -Image "UbuntuLTS" 


This command will create a new virtual machine in the CrmTestingResourceGroup resource group. The virtual machine will be named CrmUnitTests and it will be based on the UbuntuLTS image.

Azure PowerShell is a powerful tool that can help you automate tasks and manage your Azure resources more efficiently. If you are new to Azure PowerShell, I recommend that you start by exploring the documentation on the Microsoft Azure website.
