This week Microsoft announced that it has added a graphical code editor (in preview) to its Azure Cloud Shell developer tools.

Microsoft boosted the text editing capabilities of its Azure Cloud Shell command-line interface (CLI) tool with the addition of graphical Visual Studio Code editor technology.

At the ongoing Build 2017 developer conference, Microsoft has announced the Azure Cloud Shell, which brings support for Bash in the Azure Portal, with PowerShell support expected to be added later.

The new Azure Cloud Shell brings a full Bash shell to the Portal, with support for Microsoft’s own PowerShell coming later. Access to this shell is also available in the Azure mobile apps.
