Resource catalog

CloudShell models workloads and infrastructure through a common resource graph. The resources below are available in the current codebase, but CloudShell is still in preview: authoring shapes, provider behavior, and management experiences may change.

Category Includes Guide
Applications .NET, JavaScript, Java, Go, Python, executables, and container apps Application resources
Data and services SQL Server, RabbitMQ, configuration, secrets, events, and device registry Data and service resources
Platform Containers, storage, networking, DNS, load balancing, identities, and logical services Platform resources

Start with the resources that best show how CloudShell connects declared intent to live operations:

  • .NET apps for fast project-based development with dependencies and request tracing.
  • Container apps for packaged workloads, replica-aware runtime state, routing, and stronger deployment boundaries.
  • RabbitMQ for application messaging, identity-based broker access, persistent storage, and trace propagation through publish and consume operations.

User-authored and managed resources

Most application and service resources are authored directly in YAML, templates, or launchers. Some lower-level resources are normally created by a host or provider to explain runtime state. For example, prefer a Container app for a managed workload; inspect its provider-created container resources only when you need lower-level diagnosis.

The catalog calls out that distinction so a resource being visible does not imply it should be the first thing you declare.
