In most cases, at least some parameters for a set of CLI-Commands remain the same. Setting those as „default“ saves time and reduces human error.
For example, specify your location and ressource-group exactly one time and never repeat it:
ronald@Azure:~$ az configure --defaults group=RG-TEST location=westeurope
Disclaimer
Since i’m trying to get rid of Evernote, too anoying too often, i’ll start to document non-private-stuff here.
RG_NAME=RG_TEST
LOCATION_NAME=westeurope
az group create --resource-group $RG_NAME --location $LOCATION_NAME
az configure --defaults group=$RG_NAME location=$LOCATION_NAME
