Explanation
A PowerShell script that creates Azure resources can be executed on a Windows machine with the Azure PowerShell module, or via Azure Cloud Shell from any OS, or on a Windows machine with Azure CLI if the script calls CLI commands.
Common mistakes.
- B. While Linux can run PowerShell (PowerShell Core), having only Azure CLI tools installed is insufficient for a PowerShell script if that script relies on Azure PowerShell cmdlets, unless it specifically calls Azure CLI commands.
- C. A computer running macOS can run PowerShell Core 6.0, but to create Azure resources, it would also require the Azure PowerShell module to be installed within that PowerShell environment, which is not stated.
