To configure the xplat-cli to work with the Azure subscription, we have to firstly connect to the Azure subscription.
How to do it? The simple method is the organization account login to the Azure.
The login method only work with organizational account. If we are using a Microsoft account to login to the Azure subscription, we have to create a new user on Azure Active Directory so that this new user will be an organizational account.
