In a previous posts, we shared why Linux is the best development environment and how to create an Linux development environment on a Windows 10. With that complete, you can use your Ubuntu shell as an Azure development environment.
In this post we show you how to create a Linux Azure CLI 2.0 workstaion.
Install Azure CLI 2.0 on Ubuntu
Modify your sources list:
AZ_REPO=$(lsb_release -cs) echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/ $AZ_REPO main" | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list
Get the Microsoft signing key:
curl -L https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add -
Install the CLI:
sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https azure-cli
Log into Azure CLI
if you support US government clients as I often do you will have to change the cloud set
az cloud set --name AzureUSGovernment
from the Ubuntu command line
az login -u <username> -p <password>
A browser window shall open and ask you to authenticate to the Azure portal
once authenticated you will see a list of subscriptions you have access too
Now you can review Azure VLI commands
az
