Support Azure CLI 64-bit on Windows #18766

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Today we see that Azure CLI MSI installer only supports a 32 bit install of Azure CLI. Many other cloud providers and projects are moving away from supporting 32 bit in favor of 64 bit. In our case, we are building an extension which leverages an SDK that only supports 64 bit. For that reason, for some calls in the extension we run into issues because of 32 bit limitation in CLI

Describe the solution you'd like
We would like to see a natively supported 64 bit version of Azure CLI available to end users. This is available for AWS and GCP today, so it would be good to do the same in Azure.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We had previously reached out the Azure CLI team and we were given a temporary workaround is to have Azure CLI point to a 64 bit version of python. I will try this, and see if it resolves our issues, but I believe we can find a more permanent solution.
