Comprehensive Azure Cloud Platform management via command-line interface
Comprehensive Azure Cloud Platform management via command-line interface
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Master the Azure command-line interface for cloud infrastructure management, automation, and DevOps workflows. Azure CLI is Microsoft's powerful cross-platform command-line tool for managing Azure resources. This skill provides comprehensive knowledge of Azure CLI commands, authentication, resource management, and automation patterns.
Azure subscription and resource group architecture Authentication methods and credential management Resource Provider organization and registration Global parameters, output formatting, and query syntax Automation scripting and error handling

This skill includes helper bash scripts for common operations: azure-vm-status.sh โ Check VM status across subscription azure-resource-cleanup.sh โ Identify and remove unused resources azure-storage-analysis.sh โ Analyze storage account usage and costs azure-subscription-info.sh โ Get subscription quotas and limits azure-rg-deploy.sh โ Deploy infrastructure with monitoring Usage: ./scripts/azure-vm-status.sh -g myResourceGroup ./scripts/azure-storage-analysis.sh --subscription mySubscription
Azure CLI supports powerful output filtering using JMESPath: # Sort results az vm list --query "sort_by([], &name)" # Complex filtering az vm list --query "[?location=='eastus' && powerState=='VM running'].name" # Aggregation az vm list --query "length([])" # Count VMs
# Check exit codes az vm create -g RG -n VM --image UbuntuLTS if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "VM created successfully" else echo "Failed to create VM" exit 1 fi
Service Principal (Automation): az login --service-principal \ --username $AZURE_CLIENT_ID \ --password $AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET \ --tenant $AZURE_TENANT_ID Managed Identity (Azure Resources): # On an Azure VM or Container Instance az login --identity Token-based (CI/CD): echo "$AZURE_ACCESS_TOKEN" | az login --service-principal -u $AZURE_CLIENT_ID --password-stdin --tenant $AZURE_TENANT_ID
