Azure CLI takes ages to download which become a huge problem for labs with that requirement #30129
Description
Describe the bug
Even with an excellent connection, downloading the Azure CLI takes a very long time. It has always taken some time but I don't remember it to be so much time, it became a huge problem. The package is not that big but it takes for ever to be downloaded.
It's a problem because :
- people get frustrated and give up installing the azure cli
- for Microsoft Learn labs, internal workshops in companies or hands on a lab at conferences where Azure CLI is a prerequisite, it is nearly impossible to do the lab with such an download time
