Microsoft Azure CLI, CycleCloud CLI

Azure CLI is a command line interface (CLI) that allows users to perform operations on Microsoft's Azure cloud service using commands. It allows operations related to resource management of cloud services, which are usually performed using a console on a web browser, to be executed as Linux commands. Therefore, it can be used to connect Genkai to cloud services, for example, by automatically performing a series of investigations using shell scripts.

Please note that the Genkai account contract does not include cloud service resources. the center does not accept requests for contracting cloud services on behalf of or using cloud services. ct the following for information on using AWS.
