Sure, that's what I do, and what my friend did before he went to another company where they somehow managed to fuck up the project configuration so bad it was absolutely impossible to deploy from under anything other than Visual Studio. It's using some sort of integrated Azure wizardry, I don't work there and can't pry into their secrets. The thing is, you can't work with that project without a Windows license and a Visual Studio license. MS has zero interest in supporting this use case (can't blame them, I'm just stating the fact.)

And that is the thing right! When you stop understanding the tools, you are screwed. I (as a .NET fanboy) prefer CLI tools anytime over some VS Azure toolbox no one understands).

Azure CLI just works fine without VS.
