For a full list of modules found in this repository, please see the Azure PowerShell Modules document.

Installation

PowerShell Gallery

Run the following command in an elevated PowerShell session to install the rollup module for Azure PowerShell cmdlets:

Install-Module -Name Az

This module runs on Windows PowerShell with .NET Framework 4.7.2 or greater, or the latest version of PowerShell 7. The Az module replaces AzureRM. You should not install Az side-by-side with AzureRM.

If you have an earlier version of the Azure PowerShell modules installed from the PowerShell Gallery and would like to update to the latest version, run the following commands in an elevated PowerShell session:

Update-Module -Name Az

Update-Module installs the new version side-by-side with previous versions. It does not uninstall the previous versions.

For detailed instructions on installing Azure PowerShell, please refer to the installation guide.

Usage

Log into Azure

To connect to Azure, use the Connect-AzAccount cmdlet:

# Device Code login - Provides a link to sign into Azure via your web browser
Connect-AzAccount

# Service Principal login - Use a previously created service principal to log in
Connect-AzAccount -ServicePrincipal -ApplicationId 'http://my-app' -Credential $PSCredential -TenantId $TenantId

To log into a specific cloud (AzureChinaCloud, AzureCloud, AzureGermanCloud, AzureUSGovernment), use the -Environment parameter:

# Specific cloud login - Logs into the Azure China cloud
Connect-AzAccount -Environment AzureChinaCloud

Getting and setting your Azure PowerShell session context

A session context persists login information across Azure PowerShell modules and PowerShell instances. To view the context you are using in the current session, which contains the subscription and tenant, use the Get-AzContext cmdlet:

# Gets the Azure PowerShell context for the current PowerShell session
Get-AzContext

# Lists all available Azure PowerShell contexts in the current PowerShell session
Get-AzContext -ListAvailable

To get the subscriptions in a tenant, use the Get-AzSubscription cmdlet:

# Get all of the Azure subscriptions in your current Azure tenant
Get-AzSubscription

# Get all of the Azure subscriptions in a specific Azure tenant
Get-AzSubscription -TenantId $TenantId

To change the subscription that you are using for your current context, use the Set-AzContext cmdlet:

# Set the Azure PowerShell context to a specific Azure subscription
Set-AzContext -Subscription $SubscriptionName -Name 'MyContext'

# Set the Azure PowerShell context using piping
Get-AzSubscription -SubscriptionName $SubscriptionName | Set-AzContext -Name 'MyContext'

For details on Azure PowerShell contexts, see our persisted credentials guide.

Discovering cmdlets

Use the Get-Command cmdlet to discover cmdlets within a specific module, or cmdlets that follow a specific search pattern:

# List all cmdlets in the Az.Accounts module
Get-Command -Module Az.Accounts

# List all cmdlets that contain VirtualNetwork
Get-Command -Name '*VirtualNetwork*'

# List all cmdlets that contain VM in the Az.Compute module
Get-Command -Module Az.Compute -Name '*VM*'

Telemetry

Azure PowerShell collects telemetry data by default. Microsoft aggregates collected data to identify patterns of usage to identify common issues and to improve the experience of Azure PowerShell. Microsoft Azure PowerShell does not collect any private or personal data. For example, the usage data helps identify issues such as cmdlets with low success and helps prioritize our work. While we appreciate the insights this data provides, we also understand that not everyone wants to send usage data. You can disable data collection with the Disable-AzDataCollection cmdlet. You can also read our privacy statement to learn more.
