Describe the bug

Environment Summary

Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0
Python 3.6.6
Installer: MSI

azure-cli 2.5.1

Additional Context

I tried all possible values of SKU allowed by the CLI but none of them seem to work. The error happens server-side, here is the relevant part of running with --debug on:

Sounds like the API expects a different specification for the SKU name but CLI restricts this to a small set of values which don’t seem to work.

@vladris I’m glad to hear it worked for you. We’re going to release the documentation in the coming days and we’ll add an example to address your feedback. Thanks!

hi i did reinstall AZURE CLI and Kusto and it did work I gave you the code az kusto cluster create --name $AzureDataExplorer --resource-group … and you mentioned it worked , on kkmy side i had to change the code to az kusto cluster create --**cluster-**name $AzureDataExplorer --resource-group …

Feedback: when running anything related to “az kusto …” the first thing you get is a message in RED that is very very missleading maybe it can be changed, also the information in the --help needs to be updated .

Thank you Nik
