In my job I like to work with Microsoft products. But my laptop is a MacBook pro. Seeing the world more often using the cloud using a Macbook in a Windows work environment is no problem. Even Microsoft is more often support Mac OS\X. For testing\debugging and playing I use my own Azure Cloud environment. Microsoft has released a CLI for managing you own Azure Cloud.
To install Azure CLI you first have to install node and npm:
Start a terminal console and run the following commands:
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc . ~/.bashrc mkdir ~/local mkdir ~/node-latest-install cd ~/node-latest-install curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1 ./configure --prefix=~/local make install curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
Install the Azure SDK Tools
git clone https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-tools-xplat.git cd ./azure-sdk-tools-xplat npm install npm install -g azure-cli azure --completion >> ~/azure.completion.sh
Download your account information and import it.
azure account download azure account import [file]
As it is a testing environment the most used commands for me are:
azure vm shutdown [name] azure vm start [name]
