In some cases, your Azure tenant has multiple Azure subscriptions. Every time, when you sign-in into Microsoft Azure using PowerShell, you would get this warning:

To override which subscription Connect-AzAccount selects by default, use `Update-AzConfig -DefaultSubscriptionForLogin 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000`.
