Mobile management of Microsoft Azure


When you are not sitting at your desk, it is possible to manage Microsoft Azure services using mobile devices. A short overview of useful apps is as follows:

  • As the Azure Management Portal is written in HTML5, it will work perfectly on any mobile device installed with a HTML5-compatible browser. As long as the screen of the device is big enough, management will work perfectly. I used an Apple iPad and had no issues at all.

  • Microsoft offers a free Remote Desktop app available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. This app allows connections to Windows Server running on Azure.

  • Quite a few SSH apps are available to manage Linux machine from mobile devices.

  • CloudTools for Microsoft Azure is an iOS app that allows you to manage Azure services. It shows the health status of services, deployments, services, and much more. It is targeted at the PaaS service. The cost for this app is $4.99.
