Is MS Windows OS desktop/computing device a must to make use of Azure?

Question

Or an emulated MS Windows OS, e.g. in Linux OS is ok for the use of Azure.

Answer 1

Hi

Do you mean a Windows Client OS to connect to Azure and perform admin functions? No, its not required - you can connect using Azure CLI that can be installed on Linux distros. The article below gives details:

You can also use the PowerShell module if preferred:

Hope this helps,

Thanks
