az-ps1 and cli reference
PowerShell commands typically consist of a verb-noun pair, where the verb indicates the action to be performed and the noun represents the resource or object being acted upon. Here are some of the most important verbs used in PowerShell Azure commands:
Get: Retrieves information about a resource or object. For example, Get-AzResourceGroup retrieves information about a specific resource group.
Set: Modifies the properties of an existing resource or object. For example, Set-AzVM modifies the properties of an existing virtual machine.
New: Creates a new resource or object. For example, New-AzResourceGroup creates a new resource group.
Remove: Deletes an existing resource or object. For example, Remove-AzResourceGroup deletes a specific resource group.
Start: Starts a stopped or deallocated resource. For example, Start-AzVM starts a stopped virtual machine.
Stop: Stops a running resource. For example, Stop-AzVM stops a running virtual machine.
Restart: Restarts a running resource. For example, Restart-AzVM restarts a running virtual machine.
Suspend: Suspends a running resource. For example, Suspend-AzVM suspends a running virtual machine.
Resume: Resumes a suspended resource. For example, Resume-AzVM resumes a suspended virtual machine.

The custom route should be used with an NVA (Network Virtual Appliances ). NVA is typically used to control the flow of traffic between network segments classified with different security levels, for example between a De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) Virtual Network and the public Internet.
