PowerShell Gallery

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

Install-Module -Name AzureRM

Install-Module -Name Azure

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 installs the new version side-by-side with the old version. It does not remove the old version.

# Update to the latest version of AzureRM
Update-Module -Name AzureRM

# Update to the latest version of Azure
Update-Module -Name Azure

Web Platform Installer

Download and install the Microsoft Web Platform Installer. Once installed, open the program and search for Microsoft Azure PowerShell. Click the Add button followed by the Install button at the bottom to begin the installation process.

Usage

For more detailed instructions on using Azure PowerShell, please refer to the getting started guide.

Log in to Azure

To connect to Azure, use the Connect-AzureRmAccount cmdlet.

# Interactive login - you will get a dialog box asking for your Azure credentials
Connect-AzureRmAccount

# Non-interactive login - you will need to use a service principal
Connect-AzureRmAccount -ServicePrincipal -ApplicationId "http://my-app" -Credential $PSCredential -TenantId $TenantId

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

# Log into a specific cloud - in this case, the Azure China cloud
Connect-AzureRmAccount -Environment AzureChinaCloud

Getting and setting your session context

To view the context you are using in the current session, which contains the subscription and tenant, use the Get-AzureRmContext cmdlet:

# Get the context you are currently using
Get-AzureRmContext

# List all available contexts in the current session
Get-AzureRmContext -ListAvailable

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

# Get all of the subscriptions in your current tenant
Get-AzureRmSubscription

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

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

# Set the context to a specific subscription
Set-AzureRmContext -Subscription $SubscriptionName -Name "MyContext"

# Set the context using piping
Get-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionName $SubscriptionName | Set-AzureRmContext -Name "MyContext"

Discovering cmdlets

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

# View all cmdlets in the AzureRM.Profile module
Get-Command -Module AzureRM.Profile

# View all cmdlets that contain "VirtualNetwork"
Get-Command -Name "*VirtualNetwork*"

# View all cmdlets that contain "VM" in the AzureRM.Compute module
Get-Command -Module AzureRM.Compute -Name "*VM*"
