Azure CLI 2.0 is Azure’s new command-line experience which allows users to manage Azure Cloud resources. The CLI provides clean and pipe-able outputs for interacting with popular command-line tools such as grep, cut, and jq. Azure CLI 2.0 can be used on macOS, Linux, and Windows. In the Azure CLI 2.0 release notes, Microsoft says that general availability applies to the following command modules:
“Container Service (acs) Compute (including Resource Manager, VM, VM Scale Sets, Managed Disks) Networking”
More Azure services supported
During the preview period of Azure CLI 2.0, Microsoft received enough feedback to add support for several more Azure services in the new command-line interface. Now, Azure CLI 2.0 supports command modules for sql, documentdb, redis, and many other Azure services. Microsoft also added new features such as the “-wait” and “-no-wait” capabilities, which allow users to respond to external conditions or continue the script without waiting for a response, respectively.
