" summary

Demos show Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell tradeoffs: Azure CLI in containers delivers consistent versions (pulled MCR images ~11–12 GB) and faster queries, while Azure PowerShell gives friendlier cmdlets and easier formatting. Concrete tricks: system-assigned managed identity login works from containers, mount Cloud Drive to share files between browser Cloud Shell and local container, convert SecureString via System.Net.NetworkCredential for CLI, expect monthly releases and two annual breaking-change windows.
