Microsoft Learn Sandbox snadbox to practice and learn azure services.

Once you get access to sandbox, you will have powershell to run your commands and test the resources and services.

Most Azure specific commands will start with the letters az Example: az version => azure specific command Get-date => General powershell command to get the current date of the system

You can change your shell to BASH by running the command bash in the terminal In the case of bash shell though, you cant run commands like Get-date coz these are related to windows OS and bash is related to UNIX OS which have different commands to perform the same action

But azure commands stays same in both the shells, bash shell and powershell

You can enter interactive mode using the command az interactive and wait for some time.
