azure-cli: use-dev-spaces hangs and never finishes

Describe the bug use-dev-spaces command hangs and never finishes, the only output (even with --verbose flag) is:

Installing Dev Spaces (Preview) commands...
A separate window will open to guide you through the installation process.

I could try enabling this elsewehere (azure web UI for example) but it looks like running this command is the only way to install azds.

To Reproduce Follow the Get Started on Azure Dev Spaces with .NET Core guide until you reach the step where you run the command

az aks use-dev-spaces -g MyResourceGroup -n MyAKS

Expected behavior The command should run thoroughly or at least give an error message as to why it is not completing.

Environment summary

Azure cli version: 2.0.53
.net core SDK: 2.2
OS: Windows 10
shell: PowerShell

Additional context I have tried to go through the guide using two different Azure regions, and both gave me the same result. It is my first time using Azure and I noticed some commands take a long time to finish, so I waited for around 10 minutes on 1st try before closing and 20 minutes on the second. I also tried to run the command using cmd.exe and got the same behaviour.

Hi saurabh,

Actually we had some more problems with the cluster so we deleted it and recreated it. After that we noticed that a contracter had created different network security groups that conflicted with the cluster. I am confident that we will get the dev spaces soon.

Thank you for your time and patience, if we need more support i will get back to you

On my third try, after about 30 minutes, I was prompted with a GUI to install azds and continue. An important feedback here from UX perspective is to show some kind of progress or this might take a long time if something is executing for more than 5 minutes.

However, I got another error just after that:

'An Azure Dev Spaces Controller' will be created that targets resource 'LobosqueAKS' in resource group 'LobosqueResourceGroup'. Continue? (y/N): y

Creating and selecting Azure Dev Spaces Controller 'LobosqueAKS' in resource group 'LobosqueResourceGroup' that targets resource 'LobosqueAKS' in resource group 'LobosqueResourceGroup'...1m 28s

Oops... An unexpected error has occurred. A report of the error will be sent to Microsoft.

I also tried enabling dev spaces through the web ui and nothing happened at all (not even an error).
