Hi,

I have granted one of my users access to Azure Kubernetes Service. The user wants to connect to Azure Cloud Shell from the Azure portal but is unable to do so, as connecting to Azure Cloud Shell requires a storage account, and the user does not have permission to create one.

Is there a way for the user to connect to Cloud Shell from their laptop by installing any utility on Windows or Mac? Please advise.

    Using Cloud Shell no longer requires creating a storage account - that used to be the case but now it's optional. This option is displayed when you open the Cloud Shell - simply designate the Azure subscription but choose not to use an Azure Storage account

    In particular, in the Getting Started pane (displayed when the user select Cloud Shell icon in the Azure portal for the first time), select the No storage account required option.
