PowerShell

• Azure is a module that you add to Windows PowerShell or PowerShell Core that enables you to connect to your Azure subscription and manage resources.

• Requires Windows PowerShell to function.

• PowerShell provides services such as the shell window and command parsing. But then, the Azure module adds the Azure-specific commands.

• For example, Azure PowerShell provides the New-AzVM command that creates a virtual machine for you inside your Azure subscription.

• PowerShell Core is a cross-platform version of PowerShell that runs on Windows, Linux or macOS.

• Azure Germany supports most of the same great features that global Azure customers have used, like geosynchronous data replication and autoscaling.
