Description

azsdk CLI command is downloaded and installed using unauthenticated request to GitHub. This leads to rate limiting issues when more pipelines are trying to download azsdk CLI in parallel.

This requires a change to install the azsdk CLL from a public storage account instead of using GitHub releases.

Script in question: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-tools/blob/main/eng/common/scripts/Helpers/AzSdkTool-Helpers.ps1

Research direction

Start with eng/common/scripts/Helpers/AzSdkTool-Helpers.ps1 and trace how the azsdk CLI is downloaded from GitHub releases. Update the installation source to the stated public Azure storage account or ADO feed, then verify that the script no longer makes unauthenticated GitHub download requests and still installs the CLI for pipeline use.
