Azure Developer CLI

Azure Developer Command Line Interface

Overview

The Azure Developer CLI (azd) is an open-source tool that accelerates the time it takes for you to get started on Azure. azd provides a set of developer-friendly commands that map to key stages in your workflow (code, build, deploy, monitor). The CLI allows you to work consistently in a repeatable way across the terminal, your editor/integrated development environment, GitHub Actions pipeline, and more.
