Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

You're right — the command you're referring to is a bash script:

IPADDRESS="$(az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group "learn-xxxxxxxx" --name my-vm --query "[].virtualMachine.network.publicIpAddresses[*].ipAddress" --output tsv)"

🔹 The Bash script that embeds an Azure CLI command using command substitution ($(...)) to store the VM's public IP address in a variable.

Hi Chung Yeung NG,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

The script that you posted is actually a Bash script using Azure CLI commands to get the public IP address of a virtual machine. Although written in Bash, it uses Azure CLI specifically to work with Azure resources. It is because of this reason that it can sometimes look like 'Azure CLI' content, despite the Bash syntax.

If you have any other questions or require further clarification, please don't hesitate to ask!
