👋 @tomas-pajurek, thanks for opening this issue. It looks like there are some modules present at the location currently documented (/usr/local/share/powershell/Modules/*), but the Azure modules do appear to be in the location you specified (/usr/share/az_<version>).

I'll try to get someone from the infrastructure team to clarify if this affects the other GitHub-hosted runner OSs too.

Hi @tomas-pajurek, thank you for opening this issue!

It looks like the Azure modules are in the location you pointed out on Ubuntu runners, and other OS's are not impacted. For context, it is done this way to support the AzurePowerShell task.

I think for this, we could add a note under the table to call this out, somethings similar to:

{% note %}

**Note**: On Ubuntu runners, Azure PowerShell modules are stored in `/usr/share`.

{% endnote %}

You, or anyone else, is welcome to open a PR to address this.
