Introduction

A smart cloud solution architect always has the right tools in their toolbox.

Description

In this challenge we'll be setting up all the tools we will need to complete our challenges.

• Make sure that you have joined the Teams group for this hack. The first person on your team at your table should create a new channel in this team with your team name.
• Login to the Azure Portal
• In a separate window, start the Azure Cloud Shell and list your subscriptions with the Azure CLI
  • Pick either Powershell or Bash based on your preference!
  • We will be running the Azure CLI, if you want to run it on your local machine just make sure you have the latest version.
• We are going to need the Subscription ID (guid format) of the subscription we will be working in.
• TIP: We will be using the subscription id many times in this hack. You may want to set a variable to hold it and use it in your future shell commands.
• TIP: There are 2 different ways to open the Azure Cloud Shell!

Success Criteria

1. You have a bash shell at your disposal (preferrably the Azure Cloud Shell)
2. Running az --version shows the version of your Azure CLI
