You can use Azure Cloud Shell to run most PowerShell cmdlets and CLI commands, instead of installing Azure PowerShell or CLI locally. Azure Cloud Shell is a free interactive shell that has common Azure tools preinstalled and is configured to use with your account. To run any code contained in this article on Azure Cloud Shell, open a Cloud Shell session, use the Copy button on a code block to copy the code, and paste it into the Cloud Shell session with Ctrl+Shift+V on Windows and Linux, or Cmd+Shift+V on macOS. Pasted text is not automatically executed, press Enter to run code.
There are a few ways to launch the Cloud Shell:
| Option | Link |
|---|---|
| Click Try It in the upper right corner of a code block. |  |
| Open Cloud Shell in your browser. |  |
| Click the Cloud Shell button on the menu in the upper right of the Azure portal. |  |
