Use Cloud Shell to Survey Azure Data Resources
Suppose you're new to a tech team and you've just been given read access to the QA Azure subscription. You're told to inventory the data resources in that environment and compare it to the official documentation maintained by the team to see how well the team is maintaining both the environment and the documentation. You could tediously navigate to every data-related resource in the Azure portal to complete this work – or you can work more efficiently, and use some simple code to accomplish the same thing, faster, and easier. This beginner lab demonstrates a way to review existing data platform resources in an Azure subscription using Azure CLI in the Cloud Shell. The code is provided for you to copy-paste, and no prior coding experience is required.

Challenge
You’ll learn to launch and set-up a Cloud Shell for Bash
You will set up the shell, using a pre-deployed storage account as backing storage.

Challenge
You’ll learn to use Azure CLI to survey cloud data resources.
- To start, you want to get a look at properties for all of the resources in the current subscription, in the form of a table.
- Next, you will home in on only Azure SQL Database resources; this time, formatted as a list.
- Then you will return the same data in a different format – YAML.
- Finally, you’ll explore producing similar results, using query syntax for greater flexibility, to focus in on Cosmos DB resources.
