The command az provider list
is used in the Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI) to fetch and display a list of all available resource providers in Azure.
Azure resource providers are responsible for managing and delivering a specific type of Azure resource (e.g., virtual machines, storage accounts, databases). This command allows you to view the complete list of these resource providers, which can help you understand which services are available within Azure.
When you run this command, the CLI communicates with the Azure Management API and retrieves the information about registered resource providers. The output of the command includes details such as the resource provider name, namespace, and the registration state (e.g., registered, notRegistered).
This information can be beneficial in scenarios where you want to determine the availability of specific Azure services or integrate with them programmatically using specific APIs or SDKs.
