Azure cloud shell not switching subscription

Question

When I run this command on azure cloudshell, it shows the subscription is switched but it actually is not. Because the next command I execute is done in another subscription(initial one).

Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId <id> -verbose

Answer 1

First of all Select-AzSubscription is alias of Set-AzContext cmdlet https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/issues/10848

Microsoft recommends to use

Get-AzSubscription -SubscriptionName 'MySubscriptionName' | Set-AzContext -Name 'MyContextName'
