Azure subscriptions are used for deploying and consuming Azure resources. A single Azure account can have multiple subscriptions, but there are some limitations. You can combine multiple Azure resources into a single Azure Resource Group. These groups are managed by Azure Resource Manager.
Prerequisites
- Azure subscription
- Azure CLI
Configuration
Step 1. Open Terminal and list the active subscriptions:
az account list --output table
It will list all available subscriptions in a table format. You can output the results with other formats like: json, jsonc, yaml, and tsv.
Step 2. Run a command to change the subscription.
az account set --subscription <SubscriptionId>
Replace the
Check default subscription
It’s always a good practice to check which subscription we are using before managing the Azure resources. There are a couple of ways to do this:
1. With az account show command:
az account show --output jsonc
Note: When using show command, it will display the current subscription with every output format except table.
2. With az account list command:
az account list --output table
