"Cloud Shell" is a terminal running on a browser. Users do not need to install azure powershell or VS on their computers. They only need a browser to perform all the operations managed by Azure. It has the following characteristics:

Authenticated shell access to Azure from almost anywhere

The experience connects to the Azure using an authenticated, browser-based shell hosted in the cloud and accessible from almost anywhere. Each unique user account is assigned an Azure Cloud Shell and will be automatically authenticated in each session. Get a new command line experience from multiple access points, including Azure portals, shell.azure.com, Azure mobile applications, Azure docs (such as Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell), and VS Code Azure account extensions.

Use common tools and programming languages in shell updated and maintained by Microsoft

Microsoft maintains and updates Cloud Shell regularly, which is equipped with commonly used CLI tools, including Linux shell interpreters, PowerShell modules, Azure tools, text editors, source controls, generation tools, container tools, and database tools. Cloud Shell also includes language support for several common programming languages, such as Node.js, .NET, and Python.

Save the files in each session in an attached Azure file

Cloud Shell attaches an Azure file share to save the data. The first time you use it, Cloud Shell prompts you to create a file share (or attach an existing file share) in the Azure file to save the data in each session, and Cloud Shell automatically reattaches it for subsequent sessions.

Choose the preferred shell experience

Azure Cloud Shell gives users the flexibility to choose the shell experience that best suits the way they work. Provide both Bash and PowerShell experience.

Create and edit files in the Cloud Shell editor

Cloud Shell provides an integrated file editor based on open source Monaco Editor. Just run "code." in Cloud Shell. You can enter the lightweight file editing experience that integrates directly into the Cloud Shell window. Create and edit files that will be automatically synchronized to an alternate Azure file share.

There are several different ways to access Azure Cloud Shell. If you have already opened the Azure portal, you can enter it by clicking the ">" icon on the right side of the search box, as shown below

Then a new window will pop up at the bottom of the window and select the desired shell. For example, I choose powershell here.

For the first time, you need to create storage to save related files.

After the creation is completed, the relevant shell will be loaded

Another way is to visit shell.azure.com.

About Cloud Shell, you need to know the following:

Cloud Shell runs on a temporary host provided by user per session

Cloud Shell will time out after 20 minutes of no interaction

Cloud Shell needs to mount Azure file share

Cloud Shell uses the same Azure file share for Bash and PowerShell

One computer will be assigned to Cloud Shell for each user account

Cloud Shell persists $HOME using the 5-GB image saved in the file share

Permissions are set by regular Linux users in Bash

Azure Cloud Shell itself is free, but because the prerequisite for using it is to have a mounted Azure file share, there is a regular storage fee.
