Azure has a variety of management tools. The portal and PowerShell are often used.
But with the Mac and Linux classmates favorite is the bash environment.
Azure also provides a cross-platform command-line tool: The Azure xplate CLI.
This tool can be run on Mac, Linux, Windows. So, if you use this tool well, flexibility is the biggest.
And in Microsoft's internal Azure training, many colleagues use the Xplate CLI.
It just seems that the release of the Xplate CLI is slower than PowerShell.
