Introduction to Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, and Azure CLI

Sure thing! Let's simplify it even more

1. Azure Portal
Azure Portal is like a website or an app where you can see and control all the things you've created in the cloud.
It's like having a big control panel with buttons and icons for managing your stuff in Microsoft's cloud.

2. Azure PowerShell
Imagine PowerShell as a super helpful robot that follows your commands.
Instead of clicking around in the Azure Portal, you can tell this robot what you want to do by typing commands in a special language.
It's like giving orders to your robot helper to create or manage things in the cloud for you.

3. Azure CLI (CommandLine Interface)
Azure CLI is another type of helper, but it's more like a ninja that understands a different set of commands.
Just like with PowerShell, instead of clicking, you type commands in a special language that the ninja understands.
It's like speaking a different language to another helper to get things done in Azure.

So, think of Azure Portal as your big control panel, Azure PowerShell as your helpful robot, and Azure CLI as your ninja assistant. They all help you do stuff in Microsoft's cloud, just in different ways!

The main difference between Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell lies in the languages they use and the platforms they're typically associated with

1. Language
Azure CLI primarily uses a syntax similar to Unix/Linux command-line interfaces. It's based on simple commands and switches, making it familiar to users of those systems.
Azure PowerShell, on the other hand, is built on top of the Windows PowerShell framework. It uses a scripting language more akin to traditional programming languages, with a focus on objects and cmdlets (commandlets).

2. Platform
Azure CLI is designed to be cross-platform, meaning it works on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.
Azure PowerShell, while it can be used on any platform that supports PowerShell, is most commonly associated with Windows environments.

So, the main difference is in their syntax and platform compatibility Azure CLI is more like traditional command-line interfaces found in Unix/Linux systems and is cross-platform, while Azure PowerShell is built on the Windows PowerShell framework and is primarily used in Windows environments.
