I
blogged about the Windows Azure cloud a few weeks ago. I'm digging the new stuff and trying different scenarios on Macs, PCs and Linux (I prefer Ubuntu). As a long time
PowerShell and
Command Line fan I'm always looking for ways to do stuff "in text mode" as well as scripting site creations and deployments.
Turns out there are a
mess of ways to access Azure from the command line - more than even I thought. There's a JSON-based Web API that these tools end up talking to. You could certainly call that API directly if you wanted, but the command line tools are damn fun.
