Obsolete the following Select-AzureSubscription document.

Proposed implementation details (optional)

@ram-msft thanks for opening the issue, the Select-AzureSubscription is a cmdlet of the old Azure service management model.
The notion of context is richer than simply the subscription, the following article has more details about context: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/context-persistence

Let me know if this helps.

@dcaro Thanks for your information. This helps, but can you please share your thoughts on Set-AzContext cmdlet documnet to update about the Select-AzSubscription.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.accounts/set-azcontext?view=azps-3.2.0

@ram-msft you can have as many contexts as you like against the same subscription.

For example you can have a context for your user account connected to subscription A and another context for a service principal connected to subscription A and a context for your user account connected to subscription B. The context also has a reference to the token cache used to access the corresponding cloud making the context very useful when you need to use multiple environments, not just subscriptions.

Select-AzContext will make the selected context the default locally and the documentation on context provides more details on this (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/context-persistence).

@dcaro Ideally the docs would mention the fact that Select-AzSubscription is an alias in the Set-AzContext docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.accounts/set-azcontext?view=azps-6.1.0&viewFallbackFrom=azps-3.2.0

We have a feature request open to the docs team to expose the aliases in our reference documentation.
