Azure PowerShell

PowerShell is commonly used with most Microsoft products, and Azure is no less important than these products.

Mainly, you can use Azure PowerShell cmdlets to manage your Azure Storage, however, you should be aware that Microsoft Azure has two types of cmdlets: one for the classic portal, and another for the portal we are using.

The main difference between the cmdlets of the classic portal and the current portal is there will be an RM added to the cmdlet of the current portal.

For example, if you want to create a storage account in the classic portal, you would use the following cmdlet:

New-AzureStorageAccount

But for the current portal, you would use:

New-AzureRMStorageAccount

By default, you can use Azure PowerShell cmdlets in Windows PowerShell; you will have to install its module first.
