action-install-azure-cli

Composite action to install the Azure CLI on Ubuntu.

Installs or updates the azure-cli tool on Ubuntu or other Debian-based OS using the instructions here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?pivots=apt

GitHub-hosted actions runners already have az installed, so you probably only need this action to install azure-cli on a self-hosted or Premium runner.
