Hi @Adrianclp,

2.75.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.84.0).

If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.

Here are some similar issues that might help you. Please check if they can solve your problem.

• Unable to get extensions from index. Improper index format. #27560

---

Possible solution (Extracted from existing issue, might be incorrect; please verify carefully)

Change the Azure CLI extension index URL to the default URL used by the CLI. Run the following command:

az config set extension.index-url=https://aka.ms/azure-cli-extension-index-v1

This resolved the issue for me.
