A quick one today...

I quite often hear this complaint: "I hate having to switch Cloud Shell from Bash to PowerShell to use cmdlets.". Well, you don't have to!

In fact, you can invoke the PowerShell Core interpreter right from within the Bash command-line in Cloud Shell. Simply type:

pwsh

And you'll fire off the PowerShell Core interpreter.

Once you're done and you want to go back to the Bash command-line, simply type:

exit

And you'll exit the PowerShell Core interpreter.

Simple, isn't it? ;)

As a conclusion

Working with the command line is essential when it comes to automation. Knowing that you can combine the power of Bash and PowerShell together will help you do great things.
