Get the lists of Virtual Machines under your Azure Subscription

You can execute the below Azure PowerShell cmdlet to retrieve the lists of Virtual Machines present under your Azure Subscription.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AzVM

Once, I have executed this command, I got two virtual machines as the output.
