Getting started using Azure with PowerShell
There are two fundamental things you need to do before you can start managing Azure features using PowerShell. The first is to obtain an Azure subscription. The second is to obtain the cmdlets you use to access Azure and Office 365's features.
Azure is a commercial service – each feature you use potentially has a real-world cost attached, which Microsoft bases on your usage of Azure resources. For example, with an Azure VM, you would pay to have the VM running, and there are additional charges for the VM's virtual disk storage and network traffic in and out of your VM.
The charges for Office 365 and other SaaS offerings, on the other hand, are user-based – a given user can use lots of emails, for example, without incurring any additional charges.
