az cli commands to extract azure regions and their locations

azure-regions.sh

# copy paste in terminal - this excludes locations that have no coordinates - usually called Logical regions (like USA, Europe, Asia etc...)

#az account list-locations --query '[?metadata.latitude != null].{RegionName:name,Longitude:metadata.longitude,Latitude:metadata.latitude}' > azure-regions2.json

#For the Carbon Aware SDK, use to match current format
az account list-locations --query '[?metadata.latitude != null].{Name:name,Longitude:metadata.longitude,Latitude:metadata.latitude}' | jq 'reduce .[] as $item ({}; .[$item.Name] = $item)' > azure-regions2.json
