Azure CLI is a powerful tool for managing Azure resources directly from your command line interface. However, "az login" is a command specific to Azure CLI, which is not inherently part of the Apple ecosystem. Nevertheless, you can use Azure CLI on Apple devices by installing it on macOS. This article will guide you through the process of setting up Azure CLI on macOS and executing the "az login" command to authenticate your Azure account.

Examples:

1. Installing Azure CLI on macOS:

   Before you can use the "az login" command, you need to install Azure CLI on your macOS device. Follow these steps:

   • Open the Terminal application on your macOS.

   • Install Homebrew if it's not already installed. You can do this by running the following command:

     /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

   • Once Homebrew is installed, use it to install Azure CLI:

     brew update && brew install azure-cli

2. Logging into Azure:

   After installing Azure CLI, you can log into your Azure account using the "az login" command:

   • In the Terminal, type the following command:

     az login

   • This command will open a new browser window prompting you to enter your Azure account credentials. After logging in, the Terminal will display a list of your Azure subscriptions to confirm that you are successfully logged in.

3. Managing Azure Resources:

   Once logged in, you can manage your Azure resources using various Azure CLI commands. For example, to list all the virtual machines in your subscription, you can use:

   az vm list --output table

   This command will display a table of all virtual machines associated with your Azure account.

Note: If you encounter any issues with the "az login" command, ensure that your Azure CLI is up to date by running:

brew upgrade azure-cli
