Topic 1 · Question 167

Even your answer doesn't provides clarity or correctness. The correct answer is YES, because we need just PowerShell Core 6.0 to run the PowerShell commands and it runs on MacOS.
The AzureCLI has nothing to do in the scenario. Stop giving wrong answers with confidence.

These questions are poorly worded. You should still need to install the Az module inside powershell core for this to run.

You don't need Azure CLI to run Powershell script.

right, Powershell runs on macos with powershell core

YES
By installing PowerShell Core 6.0 on a computer that runs macOS, users can run PowerShell scripts and manage Azure resources from that computer

PowerShell 7.0.6 LTS and PowerShell 7.1.3 or higher is the recommended version of PowerShell for use with the Az PowerShell module on all platforms.

Answer is YES.
You can install Powershell Core on MacOS, and therefore you can run scripts/cmdlets from it (also to create resources, here a sample script to create a Linux VM: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/scripts/virtual-machines-linux-powershell-sample-create-vm?toc=/azure/virtual-machines/linux/toc.json)

The question is about running Powershell commands, if you install on a Mac PowerShell Core 6.0 then you will be able to run command such as : New-AzVm, with Azure CLI the command should be : az vm create, so the answer is A

To run PowerShell scripts you only need PowerShell Core 6.0 installed, BUT the question also requests to create Azure resources. In order to accomplish that, you need the Azure PowerShell module which does not come with PowerShell Core 6.0. In fact, you must install it apart using the Install-Module cmdlet:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/install-az-ps?view=azps-9.2.0#installation

So, the correct answer is NO, as you cannot create Azure resources without the Azure PowerShell module.

Let me close it. There is no AZ PowerShell module and even PowerShell version is not matching, therefore NO!!!!!

The Az PowerShell module is a set of cmdlets for managing Azure resources directly from PowerShell. PowerShell 7.0.6 LTS or higher is the recommended version of PowerShell for use with the Azure Az PowerShell module on all platforms.
