Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We use the az ml environment command to automate the management of environments in AzureML in our CI/CD pipeline. When creating a new (version of) environment, the command az ml environment create returns immediately when the environment is created (while the environment is being built), we need a way to pull the environment status to make sure that the environment is successfully built before triggering the next step where the newly version of environment is used. But the az ml environment show command does not expose the status in the response.

Describe the solution you’d like

Expose environment status (e.g., Running, Succeeded, Not built, etc.) in the response of az ml environment show command.

Thank you @hugoaponte! This is an important feature to fully automate the CI/CD pipeline (covering the whole path from environment building to model training). The only work-around I can think of is to rely on a timeout, which is obviously not nice. Or, do you have suggestions on other possible nicer work-arounds?

Thanks again! Looking forward to this feature!

Is there any update on this feature request? As @Rainfarm mentioned this one will enable full automation of CI/CD workflow. Now, if there is any error while environment build, it could be only detected while pipeline execution.

Seems that neither CLI/SDK v2 nor Azure ML REST API do not provide the ability to check build status.
