Explain cmdlet in Azure?

A cmdlet is a lightweight command that can be used as a part of the Microsoft Azure PowerShell environment. The cmdlets are summoned by the Azure PowerShell that automates the script, which is in the command line. Azure PowerShell runtime additionally invokes them automatically through Azure PowerShell APIs.

In Microsoft Azure, a cmdlet refers to a specific type of command used in Azure PowerShell. Azure PowerShell is a module that provides cmdlets to manage Azure resources directly from the PowerShell command line. A cmdlet (pronounced “command-let”) is a lightweight command used in PowerShell, and it follows a verb-noun naming convention.

For example, the cmdlet Get-AzResource is used to retrieve information about Azure resources. Here, “Get” is the verb, and “AzResource” is the noun.

Cmdlets in Azure PowerShell allow users to perform various operations, such as creating, updating, deleting, and retrieving information about Azure resources, all through the PowerShell environment. They simplify the management of Azure resources by providing a consistent and scriptable interface.

To use Azure cmdlets, you need to install the Azure PowerShell module and connect to your Azure subscription. Once connected, you can run cmdlets to interact with and manage your Azure resources efficiently.
