azsub - Azure CLI Subscription Switcher

This is a command-line application meant for direct user interaction.

A nodejs module to make switching your active (default) Azure Subscription when using the Azure CLI tool. It is similar to kubectx, but instead of switching k8s contexts, it's Azure subscriptions.

It is an alternative to the Azure CLI's built-in way of switching subscriptions:

az account set --subscription <sub_name|sub_id>

It's really not that bad, especially if you have azure cli completion installed, but this program just makes it one step easier.

The implementation is very simple: all it does is read in your ~/.azure/azureProfile.json file, changes which subscription is set to default, then writes it back to disk.

Installation

It may be installed globally from the npm repository:

npm install -g azsub

Or from github:

npm install -g https://github.com/wyattfry/azsub

Usage

Invoking the command will present you with a list of subscriptions you have access to. You can choose one either with the up/down arrow keys, or by typing part of its name (it will perform fuzzy finding).

❯ az login
❯ azsub
