Chrome trick to access key Azure documentation pages faster
Microsoft provides handy URL shortcuts to key Azure documentation pages.
All you have to remember is this -
aka.ms/Azure/ <the thing>
I made it a little more simpler for myself by configuring the custom search engine option in Chrome browser. So now to jump to the Azure Pricing Calculator, I use:
az {tab} pricing
This custom search engine option in Chrome is invaluable when websites provide a standard URL pattern. In case of this Azure Shortcuts feature, the keyword suffix is what keeps changing & we can use %s to handle this dynamically for us -
aka.ms/Azure/%s
Here is how I customized this through Chrome Settings:
1. Click on "Manage search engines" within Settings
