Explain in plain language why you need Azure CLI?

Question

Virtualization

Good evening,
I understand the Azure cloud service, I found a mention of the Azure CLI, but I can’t understand why this software is needed and what role does it play? As far as I understand, this is something in the role of a client for controlling many VMs located in the Azure cloud?

Answer 1

Azure CLI, like AWS CLI, you need when you are managing resources with your own tools. Jenkins, Ansible, etc. In general, when you lack a browser and need automation

Answer 2

CLI is short for command line interface , read API
