How to run Azure CLI in a Docker container

Question

Hi Guys,

I want to install Azure CLI on top of the Docker container. So that it will consume very limited resources. How can I install that?

H@akhtar,

You can use Docker to run a standalone Linux container with the Azure CLI pre-installed. Docker gets you started quickly with an isolated environment to run the CLI in. The image can also be used as a base for your own deployments.

$ docker run -it mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli
