In reply to David Moreta. since it is referencing windowsazure.com, how old is that PowerShell script? Maybe it still uses an older version?

Hi Thomas, thanks for the great article, i am trying to run a script from within Cloud Shell to clean my diagnostics logs table, i have uploaded it to my $home dir but when running it, i get this message: “WARNING: Windows Azure PowerShell module not found! Please install from http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/downloads/#cmd-line-tools“. Do you know what’s happening?

great post!

i have one question related to starting azure cloud shell from vs code for CSP admin user.

when i go from the CSP portal>>>Azure Management portal for a tenant, i can start Cloud Shell directly in the correct context

but when i start Cloud Shell locally i can’t get the same user context

i have tried to use:

az login –tenant azuretennant –username myCSP@user.domain

after login i get the list of subscription, and the subscription i wan’t to work with is listed.
but i can’t work with resources like i do via the web session.

i have also tried to use: az account set –subscription

but the issue remains.

any help on how to get the same context from locally started cloud shell would be appreciated

In reply to Cupid Chan. Only modules that are working with PowerShell Core 6 or PowerShell 7. (.NET Core). There is an Azure AD Preview version already installed in Azure Cloud Shell.

In reply to Abhilash. If you are speaking about the Remote Management, then you are right you can access the VMs currently only if they have a public IP address assigned.

Very well explained, thank you.

Q: How does the cloud shell connect to my azure infra? My guess is using public IP, but if I have to say SSH to a VM that doesn’t have public IP, will it work from cloud shell?

Also does the portal.azure and shell.azure have the same public IP?

In reply to Orlando Valdenegro. In my opinion, it should be clearly yes. Because first you can run Cloud Shell in the browser correct and there is even an Azure app that you can run on your mobile phone, where Azure Cloud Shell is integrated.

Hi I found that question and answer in the book “Microsoft AZ-900 Exam Preparation” by Georgio Deccache.
I understand that since Azure Cloud Shell is web base and can be access by a web browser, the answer should be yes, right?
