Why you should use Azure Management Cmdlets:

There are many reasons for you to use Azure Management Cmdlets. You could use these cmdlets to automate certain tasks of managing Windows Azure (like service deployments etc.). You could also use these cmdlets to access your storage with ease. As mentioned above, it includes functionality for backing up and restoring your Azure Storage account. You can also use it to backup contents of your local disk (files & folders) in Windows Azure Blob storage.

What do you need to use Azure Management Cmdlets:

Azure Management Cmdlets are built using .Net 4.0. You would need a computer with .Net 4.0 installed. Since these are PowerShell cmdlets, you would need to have PowerShell installed on your computer as well. Other than that you would need access to Windows Azure Storage (Storage Account Name & Key) and Windows Azure Hosted Services (Subscription Id & API Certificates). If you’re using these cmdlets to access local development storage, then you would need to have Azure SDK installed on the computer.
