A company has a security policy that prohibits IT administrators from installing any local applications, command-line tools, or script modules on their local workstations. The administrators need to manage Azure resources. They require both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command-line interface (CLI) to perform their tasks.
Which of the following tools should the administrators use to meet these requirements without violating the security policy? (Select two.)
- Azure PortalAnswer
- Azure Cloud ShellAnswer
- CAzure CLI installed on a local workstation
- DAzure PowerShell installed on a local workstation
Answer
The Azure Portal and Azure Cloud Shell are the correct tools because they run entirely within a web browser and do not require any local software or module installation on the workstation.
The Azure Portal and Azure Cloud Shell are correct because both are fully managed, web-based tools accessible via a standard web browser. The Azure Portal satisfies the graphical interface requirement, and Azure Cloud Shell satisfies the command-line interface requirement. Neither tool requires downloading, installing, or configuring any local software, scripts, or modules on the administrator's workstation, thus fully adhering to the security policy.
