BASH Training Module Unit 7 of 9 isn't working correctly

Question

I am working through module number 7 of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/bash-introduction/6-exercise-filter-cli-output . I am at step 1 and am typing in az vm list-sizes --location westus --output table as directed by this exercise. The resulting output should provide me with a list of all the virtual machines in the westus instance. Instead I see the output below:

azureuser [ ~ ]$ az vm list-sizes --location westus --ouput table

unrecognized arguments: --ouput table

Examples from AI knowledge base:

az vm list-sizes --location westus

List the available VM sizes in the West US region.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/cli/azure/vm#az_vm_list_sizes

Read more about the command in reference docs

Something is definitely broken in this exercise. Module number 8 for this section didn't work correctly either. How often are these modules updated/checked? It's frustrating using this as a training tool when these exercises don't work correctly. May I suggest that someone or a team of someone's goes through all these exercises to make sure they'll work as trainees like me expect.

This question is related to the following Learning Module

Answer 1

Hi Brown, David CTR (Volpe),

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Q&A forum.

Based on my understanding of the issue, you're practicing the following Learning Path exercise.

• Topic: AZ-104
• Learning Path: AZ-104: Prerequisites for Azure administrators
• Module: Introduction to Bash
• Unit: 7 of 9: Exercise - Use Bash and grep to filter CLI output
• Check for typos and syntax errors: Ensure there are no spelling mistakes or syntax errors in the commands you are entering. [Simply copy and paste the command by clicking the copy option].
• Update Azure CLI: Run az --version to check your Azure CLI version and update it if necessary, using az upgrade
• Check Network Connectivity: Ensure you have a stable internet connection since the Azure CLI communicates with Azure services online.
• Refer to Official Documentation: Use the official Azure CLI documentation for the latest and most accurate command usage.

If everything is correct, the commands should work as expected, and you should see the filtered lists of VM sizes.

 

For reference, we also tested it on our end, and it's working fine without any issues:
