Install Azure CLI - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-windows?view=azure-cli-latest&tabs=azure-cli.

Looks like guide is incorrect. You should install Azure PowerShell instead of Azure CLI: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/new-azureps-module-az?view=azps-6.0.0

@norihiro, I have created #3466 PR with a section how to install Az module.

[norihiro]

I checked Apps & features shows Microsoft Azure CLI 2.24.0 but Connect-AzAccount is not found.

@norihiro Azure CLI != Azure PowerShell. It is two different tools. See updated guide: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/pull/3466/files

Thanks @maxim-lobanov,
I can install Azure PowerShell by Install-Module -Name Az -Scope CurrentUser -Repository PSGallery -Force and now the command is found now.
Unfortunately I got another error below. It would be another problem I need to debug.
