Grep AND awk

The context for this is that I'm working with the IBM Cloud CLI tool, specifically the Infrastructure Services plugin to find a specific subset of images, from which I can instantiate a Virtual Server Instrance (VSI).

Given this, I wanted to list the images in a specific region and filter by those that: -

- Run on the IBM Z Linux platform, aka s390x **AND**

- Are based upon Ubuntu **AND**

- Are available rather than deprecated

I started with this: -

ic is images

( where ic is an alias for the ibmcloud plugin )

and then filtered using a set of nested grep calls: -

ic is images | grep s390x | grep ubuntu | grep available

but that's not very elegant

I knew how to use the OR operator in grep e.g.

ic is images | grep "s390x\|ubuntu"

but that's not what I want; I want AND rather that OR

This helped: -

How to run grep with multiple AND patterns?

In other words, use awk rather than grep, as per this: -

ic is images | awk '/s390x/ && /ubuntu/ && /available/'

which is much better
