The "az upgrade" command is used in the Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI) to upgrade the Azure CLI to the latest version. Azure CLI is a command-line tool that enables users to interact with and manage Azure resources from the command prompt, shell scripts, or within automation workflows.
When you run the "az upgrade" command, it checks if there is a newer version of the Azure CLI available. If a newer version is found, it prompts the user to confirm the upgrade. If confirmed, it downloads and installs the latest version of the Azure CLI, replacing the older version on your system.
By regularly using the "az upgrade" command, you can keep your Azure CLI installation up to date, ensuring you have access to the latest features, bug fixes, and improvements provided by Microsoft.
