The issue is caused by the colorama code for survey link. You can turn off the link with export AZURE_OUTPUT_SHOW_SURVEY_LINK=False or disable the color for all command output with export AZURE_CORE_NO_COLOR=True.

For the purpose of parsing Azure CLI version, we recommend az version, the output is a simple json. az version --query '"azure-cli"' gives you the version "2.5.1" on Linux.

I re-thought about this issue today and it is actually a colorama bug with head command (linked above 👆).

Anyway, we no longer init colorama if stdout is not a TTY, so we are good.
