How can I add SUSE 15 SP1 software repositories for an Azure hosted VM?

Question

Dear Experts,
How can I add software repositories for SUSE 15 SP1 for a VM hosted in Azure?
Initial problem was that repositories were not accessible. I have followed recommendations from https://www.suse.com/c/suse-update-infrastructure-access-through-the-data-center/ but this did not solved the issue. After that, I have tried recommendation from (https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000019085 and this removed repositories.
Thanks and regards,

After running susecloud-repocheck tool (sc-repocheck.py) ( available at https://github.com/rfparedes/susecloud-repocheck), it automatically fixed the issue.

Info from the above link:

To autofix, report, and collect debugdata

If you have outbound https opened on the instance, from the instance, run:
python3 <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfparedes/susecloud-repocheck/main/ccccc)

Or download and transfer the script to the instance:

Then run:
python3 sc-repocheck.py

Hi @Forability

To add a repository, run

sudo zypper addrepo URI ALIAS  

URI can either be an Internet repository, a network resource, a directory or a CD or DVD (see https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Libzypp_URIs for details). The ALIAS is a shorthand and unique identifier of the repository. You can freely choose it, with the only exception that it needs to be unique. Zypper will issue a warning if you specify an alias that is already in use.

Please refer this link for details.
