Answer 1

The error shows why the issue happens. It cannot find the command azds. Because the cloud shell does not install the command tool. You can find all the command tools installed in the cloud shell here.

I suggest you can install the tool which you need in the Azure VM of the azure Kubernetes, if you do not find the tool what you want.

It's a better way for you. By the way, the Cloud Shell just enables access to a browser-based command-line experience built with Azure management tasks in mind. So install the Azure CLI in the VM is a better experience.

Answer 2

To add to Charles's answer: the Azure Dev Spaces CLI currently does not support running in the Cloud Shell. Its functionality is designed more for running on your local dev machine where you application's source code is.
