Its name is \u201cAz.\u201d Az ensures that Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core users can get the latest Azure tooling in every PowerShell on every platform. Az also simplifies and normalizes\tAzure PowerShell cmdlet and module names. Az ships in Azure Cloud Shell and is available from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.powershellgallery.com\/packages\/Az\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PowerShell Gallery<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Az module version 1.0 was released on December 18, 2018, and will be updated on a two-week cadence in 2019, starting with a January 15, 2019 release.<\/p>\n<p>As with all Azure PowerShell modules, Az uses semantic versioning and implements a strict <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Azure\/azure-powershell\/blob\/master\/CONTRIBUTING.md#breaking-changes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">breaking change policy<\/a>\t\u2013 all breaking changes require advance customer notice and can only occur during breaking change releases.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For complete details on the release, timeline, and compatibility features, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/azps-announce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Az announcement page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>New features<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Az runs on Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell Core (cross-platform)<\/li>\n<li>Az is always up to date with the latest tooling for Azure services<\/li>\n<li>Az ships in Cloud Shell<\/li>\n<li>Az shortens and normalizes cmdlet names \u2013 all cmdlets use \u2018Az\u2019 as their noun prefix<\/li>\n<li>Az simplifies and normalizes module names \u2013 data plane and management plane cmdlets for each service use the same Az module<\/li>\n<li>Az ships with new cmdlets to enable script compatibility with AzureRM (Enable\/Disable-AzureRmAlias)<\/li>\n<li>Az enables device code authentication support, allowing login when remoting via a terminal to another computer, VM, or container<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can find complete details on the Az roadmap and features on the Az announcement page.<\/p>\n<h2>Migrating from AzureRM<\/h2>\n<p>Users are not required to migrate from AzureRM, as AzureRM will continue to be supported.\tHowever, it is important to note that all new Azure PowerShell features will appear only in \u2018Az\u2019. Az has\tnew features to ease migration, and these are discussed in depth in the <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/azps-migration-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Az 1.0 Migration Guide<\/a>.\tIf you have scripts written for AzureRM, there are three paths for migration<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Convert existing scripts to Az\t\u2013 For users that mainly use Azure PowerShell interactively and have few scripts, the simplest option is to remove AzureRM when installing Az.\tYou can use the \u2018Uninstall-AzureRm\u2019 cmdlet that is included with the Az module to do this.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Keep Az and AzureRM scripts separate and run in separate sessions\t\u2013 Az and AzureRM cannot be executed in the same PowerShell session. However, if you are careful that your scripts use either Az or AzureRM, you can have both modules installed and run scripts using each module in separate sessions.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Install Az in PowerShell Core \u2013\tsince PowerShell Core is installed side-by-side with Windows PowerShell 5.1,\tyou can install Az in PowerShell Core without impacting any existing AzureRM scripts running in Windows PowerShell 5.1.\tSee the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/powershell\/scripting\/setup\/installing-powershell-core-on-windows?view=powershell-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Installation Guide for PowerShell Core on Windows<\/a> for details.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Authentication changes<\/h2>\n<p>The Az module is cross-platform, and so some authentication mechanisms\tsupported by Connect-AzureRmAccount have been changed or removed in the Az 1.0 version of the Connect-AzAccount cmdlet, as they are not supported on all platforms.\tSome of these authentication mechanisms will be enabled in future versions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Support for user login with PSCredential:\tThis capability is currently disabled in Az 1.0, but will be enabled in the January 15, 2019 release for Windows PowerShell 5.1 only. This scenario is discouraged as a mechanism for authenticating scripts, except in limited circumstances. Instead, scripts should use Service Principal authentication as described in \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/powershell\/azure\/authenticate-azureps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sign In with Azure PowerShell<\/a>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Support for interactive login using the automatic sign-in dialog: In AzureRM, interactive user sign-in automatically displays a web page where the user enters credentials. In Az 1.0, this is replaced with device code authentication, in which the user opens a browser to the device login page and enters a code before providing credentials, as shown in the graphic below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Device Login\" height=\"797\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/9c3c621d-5525-46bd-8b1b-171dce323e45.webp\" title=\"Device Login\" width=\"1439\"><\/p>\n<p>Interactive login with automatic web page login display will be enabled for\tWindows PowerShell 5.1\tonly in the January 15, 2019 release and will be supported across all platforms in early 2019.<\/p>\n<h2>Azure Automation support<\/h2>\n<p>The Az module can run in Windows PowerShell 5.1, but requires .NET Framework version 4.7.2 or later.\tAzure Automation cloud workers currently support .NET Framework version 4.6.1. Azure Automation is updating their cloud workers to support .NET version 4.7.2, and until these new workers are deployed, Az cannot be used in Azure Automation cloud runbooks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Azure Automation team plans to deploy cloud workers supporting .NET 4.7.2 to all Azure environments and regions by March 15, 2019.
