Management 
tools 
In earlier chapters in this book, you have explored several prominent 
features of the Microsoft Azure platform. You have learned how to create 
Azure web applications, cloud services, virtual machines, storage accounts, 
Azure SQL database instances, and much more. The majority of examples 
have demonstrated using the Azure portal. Although the portal is a great 
way to work with Azure resources, other tools will also prove useful during 
development and management of those resources. 
Management tools overview 
There are many excellent tools available to aid in the development and management of Azure 
solutions—in fact, too many to cover in this chapter. Microsoft Visual Studio, PowerShell, and the 
Azure cross-platform command-line (also commonly referred to as the Azure CLI) tools are covered in 
this chapter. To assist in your awareness, Table 8-1 lists a few Azure features and related tools.
