Azure CLI是否使用Azure Rest API

Question

Does the Azure CLI SDK use the Azure Rest API internally? And if so any further details on how these relate to each other internally would be great.

Answer 1

Yes, you are right. Azure CLI uses Azure Rest APi.

If you use --debug , you will find the API the command use. For example:

az vm list --debug

Yes, as Johan said, Azure Power Shell/CLI, SDK all call Azure Rest API. If you use debug mode, you could see the API. More information about Azure Rest API, you could check this link .

Answer 2

Each service in Azure exposes a set of APIs. For managing/creating/updating your resources (eg creating a Virtual Machine ), these are REST calls. Note: Other services may use non-HTTP/REST APIs (eg AMQP for Azure Service Bus ).

While you can use your favorite HTTP networking stack or utility (eg curl, postman etc.) to make HTTP/REST calls, Microsoft publishes a set of SDKs to make things easier to develop applicationsin various languages.

The Azure CLI happens to be implemented in python , and thus makes use of the Azure Python SDKs to get its work done.

There is no separate Azure CLI SDK, however.
