Description

Azure CLI is the command-line interface provided by the Azure team with a set of commands used to create and manage Azure resources. While working with Azure CLI, you will get hands-on experience with different types of actions to manage the resources.

Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) offers an IaaS offering with on-demand, scalable computing resources. VMs offer a quick and easy way to create a computer with a specific configuration required for any purpose such as developing or testing an application while giving you the ability to decommission them when not needed to save costs.
