To use the existing container instead of creating one, use docker exec command instead of docker run

docker exec -it my_devops_toolkit /bin/bash

Use case 1: Az login and run command

docker run --rm -it devops-toolkit:latest
## To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://microsoft.com/devicelogin and enter the code <SHOWN_IN_SCREEN> to authenticate
az login
# List all resource groups
az group list

Use case 2: Using Azure config from the host

Mount the .azure folder from host when running toolkit container

docker run --rm -it -v ~/.azure:/root/.azure devops-toolkit:latest
###############################################
# Now we are in the docker container terminal #
###############################################
# List all resource groups
az group list

➜  ~ docker run --rm -it -v ~/.azure:/root/.azure devops-toolkit:latest
root@f097467db632:~# az group list
