try on your machine

The command "az version" is used in the Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI) to display the current version of the Azure CLI and its associated components.

When you run the command "az version", it will provide information about versions of various components such as the Azure CLI core module, installed extensions, Python version, OS version, and more. This command helps you determine the version of your Azure CLI installation, which can be useful for troubleshooting or compatibility purposes.

The output of the command will typically look something like this:

azure-cli                         2.26.0
core                              2.26.0
telemetry                          1.0.6

This example shows that the Azure CLI core module and overall Azure CLI version is 2.26.0.
