The command "az account set --subscription ${subscription_id}" is used with the Azure CLI (Command-Line Interface) to set the active subscription.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "az account set": This is the core command for interacting with Azure accounts.
• "--subscription": This option specifies that the command should target a specific subscription.
• "${subscription_id}": This is a placeholder syntax for a subscription ID variable. It needs to be replaced with the actual subscription ID.

By running this command, you can switch to a specific Azure subscription, which allows you to perform various operations and manage resources within that subscription. The subscription ID identifies a specific subscription within your Azure account.

For example, if you have multiple subscriptions and want to work on a particular one, you would replace ${subscription_id} with the actual subscription ID like this: "az account set --subscription abcdefgh-ijkl-mnop-qrst-uvwxyz".
