Tip
Features & tools in PowerShell is also available.
Bash in Cloud Shell runs on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Bash in Cloud Shell securely and automatically authenticates account access for the Azure CLI 2.0.
Creating a Linux VM from Azure CLI 2.0 can create a default SSH key and place it in your $Home directory. Placing SSH keys in $Home enables direct SSH connections to Azure Linux VMs directly from Cloud Shell. Keys are held in acc_.img in your file share, use best practices when using or sharing access to your file share or keys.
To persist files across sessions, Cloud Shell walks you through attaching an Azure file share on first launch.
Once completed, Cloud Shell will automatically attach your storage (mounted as $Home\clouddrive) for all future sessions.
Additionally, in Bash in Cloud Shell your $Home directory is persisted as an .img in your Azure File share.
Files outside of $Home and machine state are not persisted across sessions.
