Set the subscription: ```azurecli az account set --subscription "<Subscription Name>" ``` 1. Install the Workloads CLI extension: ```azurecli az extension add --name workloads ``` 1. Run `az workloads monitor create` with the required properties for your AMS instance: ```azurecli az workloads monitor create -g <rg-name> -n <ams_name> -l <location> --app-location <app-location> --managed-rg-name <managed_rg_name> --monitor-subnet <subnet_arm_id> --routing-preference <routing_preference> --identity type=None ``` 1.
