Answer is correct but need to understand why subscription and resource group are mentioned in question. While using the command subscription is not mentioned and some of us would look why subscription command was not used however all details mentioned in question was mentioned. For creating a virtual machine though power shall or bas, there is no requirement to put the subscription details. Name of VM and resource group are sufficient to create a vm.

I think the fact that you launch the Cloud shell from the Azure portal already implies that you have a subscription.

agree, because if you have no subscription you won't be able to run the azure cloud shell.

There are lots of assumptions. The question says "You have a subscription named Subscription1". Assume that's the only subscription. When you create RG1, it must go under a subscription. Subscription1 is the only subscription it will go to. By adding a VM to RG1, (and RG1 being under Subscription1), your goal is achieved. That is, if you assume things correctly.

The command that is provided is for the Azure CLI (Command Line Interface) and specifically for the az vm create command, which is used to create a virtual machine using the Azure CLI. While it's true that you can launch the Azure Cloud Shell from the Azure portal, Cloud Shell supports both PowerShell and Bash and it can be used to run Azure CLI commands, the command provided is written in PowerShell and the solution is suggesting to use Bash shell, which will not be able to execute this command correctly.

Hint: You sign in to the Azure portal and create a resource group named RG1. By implication, this means you already have a SUBSCRIPTION, as you won't be able to create a RG without a subscription. Now, to the question of whether the command given (az vm create --resource-group RG1 --name VM1 --image UbuntuLTS --generate-ssh-keys) is a Bash or PowerShell command, there should be no argument, since it can be tried out. az vm create --resource-group RG1 --name VM1 --image UbuntuLTS --generate-ssh-keys It's not a PowerShell command; it is an Azure CLI command written in Bash. It is used to create the "VM1" virtual machine in the resource group "RG1" using the "UbuntuLTS" image while generating SSH keys for authentication. PS: If you're in doubt, please try it out for yourself.

What about a storage account? When I go to Azure portal, then clout shell and select either bash or PowerShell, I am getting this: "You have no storage mounted Azure Cloud Shell requires an Azure file share to persist files. Learn more This will create a new storage account for you and this will incur a small monthly cost. View pricing Azure Cloud Shell will register your subscription with Microsoft.CloudShell resource provider." So my answer is NO.

Yes, this solution meets the goal. The Azure Cloud Shell provides a command-line interface for Azure services directly within the Azure portal, allowing you to run Azure commands and scripts from anywhere with an internet connection. By selecting Bash as the shell type in Cloud Shell and running the given command, you can create the VM1 in Subscription1 within the specified resource group (RG1) using the UbuntuLTS image and automatically generating SSH keys for the virtual machine.

The answer is correct. You can obsoletely run this script in cloud shell bash, I just ran it and have a running VM1. Just remember to create a resource group RG1 (like the question says) and run it in bash.
