AzureTip #03 – Embed Azure Cloud Shell

Using Azure Cloud Shell in a web browser is already possible through your Azure Portal. But, now you can save your time by using this new URL: https://shell.azure.com. Thanks to this site, you don’t need to open Azure Portal and click on the Cloud Shell icon.

What are the prerequisites?

All you need is your Azure credentials!  No need to install Azure CLI on your workstation.

Let’s click on the following button:

Launch Cloud Shell

You will be redirected to shell.azure.com and you will be prompted to enter your Azure credentials.

Then, your Cloud Shell is ready!

You can set a specific URL to directly open your favorite Cloud Shell (Bash or PowerShell):

Finally, here is the HTML code to embed a Cloud Shell pop-up window:

<a style="cursor:pointer" onclick='javascript:window.open("https://shell.azure.com", "_blank", "toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,menubar=no,location=no,status=no")'><image src="https://shell.azure.com/images/launchcloudshell.png" /></a>
