Azure Infrastructure: Cloud Shell and Command Line Tools

Master bash fundamentals for Azure infrastructure by learning what bash is, essential commands like ls, cat, and ps, and how to use io redirection to filter Azure cli output.

Explore bash command fundamentals, including command syntax, options, and arguments, and learn how to use ls with -a and -l in Azure Shell to manage directories.

Discover how bash documentation works via man pages and dash dash help, explore mkdir usage with options, and learn shell differences in Azure vs local environments.

Master Linux pattern matching in Azure shell with wildcards like the asterisk, question mark, and square brackets. Use backslash escapes and case sensitivity to refine file searches.

Learn bash directory navigation and file management in Linux, using ls, cd, and pwd to view contents, permissions, ownership, and sizes, with tab completion and hidden files.

Learn linux file operations with cp for copying files and directories, including recursive copies with -R and preserving attributes with -p. Try touch and mkdir, and use -i and -v.

Move and rename files using the mv command on Linux. Use options like -i, -f, and -p to control overwriting, force moves, and preserve attributes.

Explore safe file and directory deletion with rm in linux, including recursive and force options, interactive prompts, and backups; use mkdir -p and tree to structure and inspect projects.

Master administrative access control on Linux by using sudo for elevated tasks and su to switch users, including root, with proper authentication, noting Azure shell lacks these commands.

Explore process monitoring and management in Linux using ps and top to view processes, display a process tree, filter by user, and monitor real-time CPU and memory usage.

Explore essential Linux system administration commands like w, uname -a, and who am I to view logged-in users, system information, and current session details in Azure and local shells.

Master bash i/o operations by learning output redirection, overwrite and append behavior, error capture to files, and discarding output with dev/null for efficient data management.

Append data to files with the bash double greater-than operator, preserving existing content and building log files, cumulative reports, and system records.

Explore input redirection and command piping in bash by reading from unsorted.txt, sorting data, counting lines with wc -l, transforming case with tr, and chaining with grep and sort.

Explore cloud shell navigation and file management using bash basics—pwd, ls -a, cd, tilde; dot is current directory; tab completion; hidden files and home directory.

Reinforce Linux command line fundamentals in Azure, covering ps with options, grep, redirection to processes.txt, rm -r for recursive removal, cat concatenation, sudo elevation, and background executions.

Explore PowerShell as a cross-platform command line shell and scripting language for automating tasks, managing cloud resources, and enabling CI/CD workflows in Azure and beyond.

Demonstrates configuring PowerShell on macOS, installing via Homebrew or direct downloads, adding Homebrew to path, and enabling PowerShell in Visual Studio Code with the PowerShell extension.

Run your first PowerShell commands in Azure Cloud Shell, locally, or in VS Code, then verify the PowerShell version with PS version table and note core 7.4.6 versus desktop 5.1.

Locate and use PowerShell commands in Azure shell with Get-Help to view syntax, parameters, and usage examples for Get-Az Virtual Network.

Explore Azure PowerShell objects with the Get-member cmdlet to reveal properties and methods of Azure VM and storage account, create resource groups and storage accounts, and inspect nested object details.

Learn to inspect storage account details and resource groups via properties and nested objects, and use get-member and remove commands to delete resources in Azure PowerShell.

Explore PowerShell fundamentals, including Get-Command for discovering commands and using noun patterns with wildcards to find file-related commands, and review Cloud Shell, Bash, and PowerShell for Azure resource management.
