  Two first-party command-line surfaces cover Cost Management, and they cover different
  amounts of it. The Azure CLI extension (`az costmanagement`) is Exports-only plus the
  detailed-report operation poller. The Azure PowerShell module (Az.CostManagement) adds the
  Query and detailed-report surfaces. Neither reaches Budgets, Alerts, Views, Scheduled Actions,
  Settings, Markup Rules or Cost Allocation Rules — those are REST- and SDK-only, which is
  worth knowing before scripting against the CLI.
