Can someone quickly explain (like I'm an idiot) how you remote administer a Windows Azure machine without a unix command prompt? I have a feeling that Microsoft and their cloud strategy is at a disadvantage in ways that they cannot even comprehend.

- planetjoe 15y agoWindows Azure "machines" are just normal windows VMs. So you'd "administer" from unix however you'd administer a windows machine from unix. (?) You can easily RDP into azure instances, so you could do that from linux if that's what your asking. Or, if you're talking about managing your resources (e.g. spinning instances up and down) all of that stuff can be done via REST api. If there isn't a unix toolkit yet, there will be one. Tooling seems to lag feature development in Azure by a bit.
