8. CloudShell Sandboxes VNET
9. Peering between the CloudShell Sandboxes VNET and the CloudShell Management VNET

Note that additional VMs may be dynamically allocated for each sandbox.

Configure Azure API to work with CloudShell

CloudShell Apps communicate with Azure using the Azure API. However, to enable the two platforms to work with each other, you need to add a web application that has permissions to use the Azure API.

This configuration is a three-step process:

1. Add an Azure web application
2. Delegate Azure API permissions to the web application
3. Configure the web application as Contributor

During the Azure configuration process you'll obtain a tenant and a secret key which, along with your subscription ID and client ID you'll need to configure CloudShelll. Please pay attention in the steps below to the instructions regarding these important values.

Please follow the link below for detailed configuration instructions:
