The official Microsoft Azure PowerShell module (Az) providing cmdlets to develop, deploy, and administer Azure resources. It supports authentication, resource management, and automation across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Use cases
- manage azure resources from powershell
- automate azure deployments with scripts
- log into azure and manage subscriptions via cli
- provision and configure azure vms and services
- script azure resource administration tasks
- manage azure from linux or macos command line
When to choose
- you administer Azure and prefer PowerShell over CLI or SDKs
- you need to automate Azure resource management in PowerShell scripts or CI pipelines
- you want cross-platform Azure tooling on Windows, Linux, or macOS
When to avoid
- you prefer the Azure CLI (az) or a Python/Go SDK for Azure automation
- you are not working with Microsoft Azure
- you need the legacy AzureRM module rather than its replacement Az
