equivalent to `azure location list` in new CLI #1520

joshgav · 2016-12-09T04:34:31Z

It was sometimes helpful in ye olde Azure CLI to list available locations, their short names, and their features with the azure location list command. Would it be possible to include an equivalent here?

An informational page might be sufficient too. I found this page, but it's not particularly developer-friendly and it doesn't include short names.

Thank you!

never mind - I found az account list-locations. Thanks!

"az account list-locations -o table"
to get it in an easy readable format

I prefer az account list-locations --query "[].{DisplayName:displayName, Name:name}" -o table. There's really no need to pair it up with latlong values.

Sort by DisplayName:

az account list-locations --query "sort_by([].{DisplayName:displayName, Name:name}, &DisplayName)" --output table

elasticdotventures · 2021-05-02T16:21:17Z

You can also allow a user to select the location using fzf, i.e. to make an interactive chooser for location:

Pulled from http://github.com/elasticdotventures/_b00t_

az account list-locations -o json | jq -c --raw-output '.[]|[.name,.displayName] | @tsv' | sort | fzf-tmux --delimiter='\t' --with-nth=1 --preview='echo {2}' --height 40% | awk '{print $1}'

jiasli · 2021-05-05T10:30:44Z

@elasticdotventures, thanks for the suggestion. fzf is definitely a great fuzzy finder.

jiasli · 2021-05-05T10:56:16Z

@ArcherN9,

I prefer az account list-locations --query "[].{DisplayName:displayName, Name:name}" -o table. There's really no need to pair it up with latlong values.

If you run az account list-locations --debug, you will see the result is from Subscriptions - List Locations REST API.

msrest.http_logger: Request URL: 'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/xxx/locations?api-version=2019-11-01'
msrest.http_logger: Request method: 'GET'
...
msrest.http_logger: Response content:
msrest.http_logger: {"value":[{"id":"/subscriptions/xxx/locations/eastus","name":"eastus","displayName":"East US","regionalDisplayName":"(US) East US","metadata":{"regionType":"Physical","regionCategory":"Recommended","geographyGroup":"US","longitude":"-79.8164","latitude":"37.3719","physicalLocation":"Virginia"

The API version has been bumped from 2019-06-01 to 2019-11-01 in #14229.

In `2019-06-01`

latitude and longitude are at the root of Location.

https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/27e4203818e227ba2604ff52dcf55ce2293c4c37/sdk/resources/azure-mgmt-resource/azure/mgmt/resource/subscriptions/v2019_06_01/models/_models_py3.py#L125-L132

class Location(msrest.serialization.Model):

    _attribute_map = {
        'id': {'key': 'id', 'type': 'str'},
        'subscription_id': {'key': 'subscriptionId', 'type': 'str'},
        'name': {'key': 'name', 'type': 'str'},
        'display_name': {'key': 'displayName', 'type': 'str'},
        'latitude': {'key': 'latitude', 'type': 'str'},
        'longitude': {'key': 'longitude', 'type': 'str'},
    }

As table output shows root-level attributes, Azure CLI just shows latitude and longitude as-is.

In `2019-11-01`

latitude and longitude are moved to LocationMetadata.

https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/27e4203818e227ba2604ff52dcf55ce2293c4c37/sdk/resources/azure-mgmt-resource/azure/mgmt/resource/subscriptions/v2019_11_01/models/_models_py3.py#L124-L131

class Location(msrest.serialization.Model):

    _attribute_map = {
        'id': {'key': 'id', 'type': 'str'},
        'subscription_id': {'key': 'subscriptionId', 'type': 'str'},
        'name': {'key': 'name', 'type': 'str'},
        'display_name': {'key': 'displayName', 'type': 'str'},
        'regional_display_name': {'key': 'regionalDisplayName', 'type': 'str'},
        'metadata': {'key': 'metadata', 'type': 'LocationMetadata'},
    }

https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/27e4203818e227ba2604ff52dcf55ce2293c4c37/sdk/resources/azure-mgmt-resource/azure/mgmt/resource/subscriptions/v2019_11_01/models/_models_py3.py#L201-L209

class LocationMetadata(msrest.serialization.Model):

    _attribute_map = {
        'region_type': {'key': 'regionType', 'type': 'str'},
        'region_category': {'key': 'regionCategory', 'type': 'str'},
        'geography_group': {'key': 'geographyGroup', 'type': 'str'},
        'longitude': {'key': 'longitude', 'type': 'str'},
        'latitude': {'key': 'latitude', 'type': 'str'},
        'physical_location': {'key': 'physicalLocation', 'type': 'str'},
        'paired_region': {'key': 'pairedRegion', 'type': '[PairedRegion]'},
    }

$ az account list-locations
[
  {
    "displayName": "East US",
    "id": "/subscriptions/0b1f6471-1bf0-4dda-aec3-cb9272f09590/locations/eastus",
    "metadata": {
      "geographyGroup": "US",
      "latitude": "37.3719",    ##### Notice this attribute's location
      "longitude": "-79.8164",  ##### Notice this attribute's location
      "pairedRegion": [
        {
          "id": "/subscriptions/0b1f6471-1bf0-4dda-aec3-cb9272f09590/locations/westus",
          "name": "westus",
          "subscriptionId": null
        }
      ],
      "physicalLocation": "Virginia",
      "regionCategory": "Recommended",
      "regionType": "Physical"
    },
    "name": "eastus",
    "regionalDisplayName": "(US) East US",
    "subscriptionId": null
  },

Therefore, the latest Azure CLI doesn't show latitude and longitude in table output anymore:

$ az account list-locations --output table
DisplayName               Name                 RegionalDisplayName
------------------------  -------------------  -------------------------------------
East US                   eastus               (US) East US
East US 2                 eastus2              (US) East US 2
South Central US          southcentralus       (US) South Central US
West US 2                 westus2              (US) West US 2
Australia East            australiaeast        (Asia Pacific) Australia East

Start powershell-core

pwsh

Then combine az and pwsh command's:

$a = az account list-locations | ConvertFrom-Json -AsHashtable
$a.Where({$_.name -like "*west*"}).ForEach({ "$($_.name),$($_.metadata.latitude),$($_.metadata.longitude)" })

Will output:
