Azure VM PowerShell is a powerful command-line tool that lets you manage Azure VMs. To get started, first install the Azure PowerShell module. Then, you can use the Azure cmdlets to manage your VMs.

To get started, first open the Azure PowerShell command-line interface (CLI). Then, type the following command to get a list of all the Azure cmdlets.

Get-Command -Module Azure

To get information about a particular Azure cmdlet, you can use the Get-Help command. For example, to get help about the New-AzureVM cmdlet, you can type the following command.

Get-Help New-AzureVM

For example, the following command creates a new Azure VM named myVM.

New-AzureVM -Name myVM
