Couple of interesting changes that MS has done are
- To switch from node to python
- And the other is “az configure”
az configure lets you choose the output you want and some other features like logging, sending usage info, all in all a great cli tool.
While installing the tooling, I ran into the following issue
az : The term ‘az’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Per the website https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli#windows there is a Note asking to do this
Add %APPDATA%\PythonXY\Scripts to your PATH. Where X.Y is your Python version (for example, %APPDATA%\Python27\Scripts).
However on my machine I had to append another “Python” to get it running and by the way I installed python 3.6
%APPDATA%\Python\Python36\Scripts
