The best thing that it is working within Azure Portal and could be used anywhere regardless of your workstation platform. So you can write powershell commandlets on Mac if you need that. Cloud shell is a timy VM running within your subscription, so you have some storage to putt scripts, ARM templates and other useful things and access it directly within your commands. It allows using both PowerShell and Azure CLI to control your resources. you are being charged only for storage used for clou shell, so it is almost free to use.

You can use cloud shell just like you normally using command line tools for Azure, you can even store some data there. It is actually very small virtual machine with preinstalled management tools. Pricing is very affordable, you are paying only for consumed storage, which usually not being used much, so your costs would be a bih higher than nothing.

This could be usable when you need to take some urgent activities, while being on the road Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
