A Month Working in Cloud Shells
summary
Claim: cloud shells are practical, repeatable operational workspaces that rescued a production AKS deploy and ran hands-on labs. Demonstrated tools include azure cloud shell, Visual Studio Code in-browser, code-server, tmux to avoid timeouts, brew/homebrew, kubectl/helm/k9s, terraform and istio, plus mounting file shares and upload/download for day‑one configs. The build is a portable, shareable dev environment that works across busted laptops and tablets and it actually speeds recovery and onboarding compared with ad hoc local installs.
