Phase 2 - Bootstrap

Phase 2 of the accelerator is to run the bootstrap. Follow the steps below to do that.

2.1 Install the ALZ PowerShell module

The ALZ PowerShell module is used to run the bootstrap phase. It is available on the PowerShell Gallery. You can install it using the following steps:

Open a PowerShell Core (pwsh) terminal.
Double check you are running in a PowerShell Core terminal. Run $psversiontable to check.
Check if you already have the ALZ module installed by running Get-InstalledModule -Name ALZ. You’ll see something like this if it is already installed:

Version    Name                                Repository           Description
-------    ----                                ----------           -----------
1.0.0      ALZ                                 PSGallery            Azure Landing Zones Powershell Module

If the module is already installed, run Update-Module -Name ALZ to ensure you have the latest version.
If the module is not installed, run Install-Module -Name ALZ.

2.2 Run the Bootstrap
