Azure Platform Series: cloudshell code – your (brilliant) online editor

This post is about code which is an online editor you can use with cloudshell.

I live in the Azure platform all day (almost) every day. What this means is I need to be able to run scripts from just about any device – there are times where I will be scaling a Hyperscale database at 10:30pm from my phone….

You can read more about the editor here:

For me – it is a great way to edit and store those scripts I use most in Azure.

Yip.
