Azure已成为非常受开发人员和工程师欢迎的云计算平台。如果您在Azure上运行生产环境，那么这对您来说可能是个好消息。Microsoft最近发布了Azure 移动应用程序(Azure Mobile app)，可让您管理资源并即时查看通知。该应用程序于去年大约在同一时间首次发布，但现在终于向公众开放。当您想对您的服务采取行动并且您无权访问计算机时，该应用程序会派上用场。
适用于 Android 和 iOS 的 Azure 移动应用
该应用程序适用于Android和iOS平台，并在这两个平台上提供一致的 UI。您会发现Azure应用程序比 Web 界面容易得多。这些应用程序支持多个Azure帐户，这意味着您可以在同一个应用程序中使用您的工作帐户和个人帐户。
要开始使用，您需要使用您的帐户登录。您无法使用此应用注册Azure 。此应用程序只是 Web 应用程序的扩展，并不承诺提供所有功能。它只能为您提供即时有用的基本功能。
UI 整齐地组织成四个不同的页面，如下所述：
收藏夹
此部分维护您已添加书签的资源列表，以便于访问。您可以将当前正在处理的资源标记为收藏。该应用程序将确保它易于访问。
资源
资源允许您查看您的帐户有权访问的所有云资源。您无法创建新资源组，但只能查看现有资源组。您可以点击打开任何资源以查看指标和使用情况。活动日志(Activity Log)将为您提供该资源的整个活动历史记录。在 Metrics 下，您可以查看参数的图形表示，例如请求数和HTTP服务器错误。指标是随时随地了解您的应用程序更新的好方法，它们提供了一些有用的信息并且易于处理。除此之外，您可以查看有关已打开资源的一些简单属性。
在底部，有一些可用的关键操作。例如，您可以直接从移动设备停止或重新启动 Web 应用服务或虚拟机。如果出现问题并且您在没有 PC 的情况下外出，这些操作可能会很有用。
通知
本部分始终让您了解云中发生的情况。您会收到所有需要您注意、构建部署和计费的关键操作的通知。此页面的目的是让您始终保持最新状态。
云壳
如果您之前在 PC 上使用过Azure Cloud Shell，那么您一定会喜欢上它的。Azure 移动(Azure Mobile)应用附带一个成熟的Azure云(Azure)外壳。您可以在PowerShell或Bash模式下运行 shell，它可以像往常一样执行所有命令。由于它在云中运行，因此您设备的性能完全不会受到影响。Cloud Shell是一项很棒的功能，可让您通过移动设备进行更多访问。如果您熟悉Azure Cloud Shell，那么您可以从其他用户的移动应用程序中做更多的事情。
Azure移动(Mobile)应用程序是 Web 应用程序的一个很好的扩展。它具有正确数量的功能，使其同时有用且易于使用。添加Cloud Shell后，您几乎可以对资源执行任何操作。该应用程序还带有指纹锁等基本安全功能。总而言之，如果您在生产中使用 Azure，那么此应用程序有时可以成为救命稻草。

Download Azure Mobile app for Android and iOS
Azure has become quite a popular cloud computing platform for developers and engineers. If you are running something in production on Azure, then this might be good news for you. Microsoft has recently release Azure Mobile app that lets you manage your resources and view notifications on the fly. The application was first released around the same time last year but now has been finally made available to the public. The application comes handy when you want to act against your service, and you do not have access to a computer.
Azure Mobile app for Android & iOS
The app is available for both Android and iOS platforms and offers a consistent UI across both. You will find the Azure app a lot easier than the web interface. The applications support multiple Azure accounts, which means you can use your work and personal account from the same application.
To get started, you need to log in using your account. You cannot sign-up for Azure using this app. This application is merely an extension of the web application and does not promise to provide all the features. It can only give you essential features that are helpful on the fly.
The UI is neatly organized into four different pages as discussed below:
Favorites
This section maintains a list of resources that you’ve bookmarked for easier access. You can mark the resource you are currently working on a favorite. And the app will make sure it is easily accessible.
Resources
Resources lets you view all cloud resources that your account has access to. You cannot create new resource groups, but you can only view the existing ones. You can tap open any resource to view metrics and usage. Activity Log will give you the entire activity history of that resource. Under Metrics, you can view a graphical representation of parameters such as the number of requests and HTTP server errors. Metrics are a great way to stay updated about your application on the go, they provide some useful information and are easy to crunch. Other than that, you can view some simple properties about the resource that you have opened.
At the bottom, there are some critical actions available. For example, you can stop or restart a web app service or a virtual machine right from your mobile device. The actions might be useful if something goes wrong and you are out somewhere without your PC.
Notifications
This section always keeps you notified of what is going on in your cloud. You are notified about all the critical actions that require your attention, build deployments and billing. The aim of this page is to keep you posted always.
Cloud Shell
If you’ve used Azure Cloud Shell earlier on your PC, then you are simply going to love this. The Azure Mobile app comes with a full-fledged Azure cloud shell. You can run the shell in either PowerShell or Bash mode, and it can execute all the commands as it would normally do. Since it is running in the cloud, the performance of your device is not affected at all. Cloud Shell is a great feature and gives you more access from your mobile device. If you are familiar with Azure Cloud Shell, then you can do a lot more from the mobile application that other users.
Azure Mobile application is a great extension to the web application. It comes with a right number of features which makes it useful and easy to use at the same time. The addition of Cloud Shell lets you perform almost any operation on your resources. The app also comes with essential security features such as fingerprint lock, etc. All in all, if you use Azure in production, then this application can be a lifesaver at times.
