There are two management portals -- classic and "preview". You would think that "preview" supersedes classic, but you'd be wrong -- you actually need to be comfortable using both (and the CLI tools) to get stuff done. There's actually a Linux/OSX version of the Azure CLI tools, but it lags behind the Windows Powershell tooling and classic and "preview" which is pretty frustrating. Then, there's the ASM environment and the new-hotness ARM environment. So, the web portals support some mishmash of ARM features, but still offer classic features. The Linux/CLI tools support some of the ARM features, but not all of them either. If you're working from OSX, it's best to just stick with the ASM environment; otherwise, you're in for pain. Either way, you'll need to keep using both management portals. The current score: 1. Classic Portal - deprecated, but not really; also incomplete 2. Preview Portal - official, but still beta, but has exclusive support for some features (ARM, Redis) 3. Linux/OSX xplat-cli - incomplete and clumsy 4. PowerShell - Windows-only, **maybe** a superset of the other tools
