No versions of azure-cli is compatible with promptflow 1.8.0 with azure about promptflow HOT 6 OPEN

Thanks @ZhiliangWu, we will have a look about it.
But basically, azure-cosmos released 4.0.0 in 2020, it's not a common practice to do backward compatibility support for such old version.

Hello @ZhiliangWu, did a few investigations about it.

1. Seems like even use latest azure-cosmos version (4.6.0), many azure-cli's basic functions still could work. (Such as az login, list/create resource group, create vm) You still could use it for some cases.
2. From 3.x to 4.x, azure-cosmos introduced many breaking changes for interface, it needs a lot of effort to support 3.x version.
3. azure-cosmos released 4.0.0 in 2020, it's a rather old version.

So, we don't plan to do compatibility support as you ask, please contact azure-cli about upgrading their dependency.

Hello @ZhiliangWu, there is one workaround for your situation.
You may install azure-cli by pipx install azure-cli.
Then you don't need to add it in your poetry environment but also could use az commands in it.

Basically, pipx installs applications in an isolated environment and makes them globally available.

@huaiyan Yes, that's a possible workaround if there is really no plan to update azure-cli being compatible with promptflow. The disadvantage is that we have to manually pinning the azure-cli version through pipx commands instead of managed and resolved by poetry centrally.
