Can employer require me learn a new technology that I have no interest to learn?

I was hired some time ago to work in a consulting company in the AWS team (Amazon cloud). Now they want to expand to other cloud providers namely Azure (Microsoft Cloud) and want me to learn and get certified on that platform. They see it as the new big thing but I have no desire to embark on that career path.
I would rather broaden my skills on AWS and get more certifications there as I see AWS as more popular and more technologically advanced than Azure. I definitely don't want to become the company's Azure expert!
I would like to explain to my manager that I don't want to do that and I'm happy and would prefer working on AWS projects. I'm not keen to quit because of this, but neither I'm keen to shift my career to Azure and start in that field from scratch again.
How can I convince my employer that they should better pick someone else without creating unnecessary tensions?
