unable to run "az container exec"

[1kmilo]

[Enter feedback here] Hi, There is a section for reserved ports ("Does the ACI service reserve ports for service functionality?") with a list of ports. A customer had issues with "az container exec" commands and the port 19390 was related with the problem.

It would be good to have a clarification about this port being needed for "az container exec" commands to work.

Thanks!

Hi @AjayBathini-MSFT, The link does not really help, What I see helpful is some note that specifies that the port 19390 is required for the command to work.

Thanks

AZ CLI is simply a wrapper over Azure REST API and port 443 (HTTPS) is used.

You do not need to open any ports in Azure to execute AZ CLI commands. If you have internal firewall(your local PC) try to allow outbound HTPPS traffic. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/

if there are any further questions regarding the documentation, please tag me in your reply and we will be happy to continue the conversation.
