Ansible: Zero to Production Ready

In this lesson, you will connect your Ansible container with Azure. Following are the steps to connect to Azure:
1. Sign in with Azure CLI.
2. Create a Service Principal.
3. Assign a role to the Service Principal.
4. Create Environment Variables.
5. Install the Azure Python module.

## Prerequisites
You need to create an account on Azure. You can subscribe to Azure [here](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/?ref=microsoft.com&utm_source=microsoft.com&utm_medium=docs&utm_campaign=visualstudio/).

## Sign in with Azure CLI
You will use __Azure CLI__ to create a service principal for Azure. Before you can do that, you will need a few tools to be installed and updated first. To set up `Azure CLI` in your development container, run the following command:
