azure-cli: "az container delete" fails due to 'ContainerGroupsOperations' object has no attribute 'delete'

Describe the bug

Since docker image azure-cli:2.28.0 I get the following error when executing

az container delete --resource-group any-rg --name any-name

The same command works fine if it’s running with azure-cli:2.27.2.

Command Name az container delete

Errors:

The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:
'ContainerGroupsOperations' object has no attribute 'delete'

This issue will be fixed in version 2.29.0, which should be available by October 12th. You can find manual upgrade instructions here.

ADO AzureCLI task is locked into this latest version and causing issues elsewhere.

This appears to have been updated over the weekend in the GitHub Actions Windows 2019 image. Until this is fixed, all of our CI builds will fail and leave dangling docker images.

Where possible we replaced the cli command az container delete with PowerShell Remove-AzContainerGroup as a temporary workaround.

Ref. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.containerinstance/remove-azcontainergroup?view=azps-6.4.0

Better workaround (relies on Docker) that is cross-platform:

Use the 2.27.2 Azure CLI Docker container

docker run --rm -it mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli:2.27.2 /bin/bash
az login

Now proceed to run whatever you wanted to run

az container logs ....
az container exec ....

If you installed with curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash per here, then workaround with:

sudo apt-get remove azure-cli

Then find your 2.72.2 version with:

apt-cache show azure-cli | grep 'Version: 2.27.2'

Then install with, e.g:

sudo apt-get install azure-cli=2.27.2-1~focal

Worked for me ✅
