The Azure Developer CLI (azd) is an open-source tool that accelerates cloud development by simplifying the end-to-end process of deploying, managing, and scaling applications on Microsoft Azure. Designed specifically for developers, the Azure CLI offers an intuitive command-line interface that integrates seamlessly with existing development workflows, from local development environments to CI/CD pipelines.

In this session, we will explore how the Azure Developer CLI empowers developers to quickly set up development environments, automate deployments, and manage resources with minimal configuration.

You will learn how to:

* Scaffold new applications with built-in templates tailored for Azure.

* Deploy applications to Azure with a single command.

* Automate resource management and maintain consistent environments across multiple teams.
