Azure PowerShell can be used to manage Azure Resources, and because it provides more functionality then the web interface you really can't without. This tutorial shows you how to install and use it on a Windows 10 professional installation. Note that this already has a PowerShell included.
Note: Azure Powershell, as Azure as a whole has two versions, each for managing a different Azure version. The normal Azure PowerShell cmdlets are for managing the classic portal, https://manage.windowsazure.com , the AzureRM PowerShell cmdlets are for managing the Azure Resource Manager on https://portal.azure.com .
Add RDM Disk to Two VMs
Summary: How to share RDM disks between VMs
Date: Around 2012

This was something that took me a few minutes to figure out. I had a few RDM disks that served as shared storage, but after moving the VMs to different storage I had to reconnect them to both VMs. And that's when the problem occurred. After assigning the RDM disk to one VM, I couldn't connect it to the other one. I didn't see it in the list of available storage.
