    "isDefault": true,
    "name": "Pay-As-You-Go",
    "state": "Enabled",
    "tenantId": "tenant-id",
    "user": {
      "name": "your-account-id-or-email",
      "type": "user"
    }
  },
  {
    "cloudName": "AzureCloud",
    "id": "subscription2-id",
    "isDefault": false,
    "name": "Pay-As-You-Go",
    "state": "Enabled",
