The Az PowerShell module is a set of cmdlets for managing Azure resources directly from PowerShell. PowerShell provides powerful features for automation that can be leveraged for managing your Azure resources, for example in the context of a CI/CD pipeline.
The Az PowerShell module is the replacement for AzureRM and is the recommended module to use for interacting with Azure.
Warning
The AzureRM PowerShell module has been officially deprecated as of February 29, 2024. Users are advised to migrate from AzureRM to the Az PowerShell module to ensure continued support and updates.
Although the AzureRM module may still function, it's no longer maintained or supported, placing any continued use at the user's discretion and risk. Please refer to our migration resources for guidance on transitioning to the Az module.
You can use the Az PowerShell module with one of the following methods:

Note
PowerShell 7.2 or higher is the recommended version of PowerShell for use with the Az PowerShell module on all platforms.
The Az PowerShell module is based on the .NET Standard library and works with PowerShell 7.2 and later on all platforms including Windows, Linux, and macOS. It's also compatible with Windows PowerShell 5.1.
We're committed to bringing Azure support to all platforms and all Az PowerShell modules are cross-platforms.
Upgrade your environment to AzTo keep up with the latest Azure features in PowerShell, you should migrate to the Az module. If you're not ready to install the Az module as a replacement for AzureRM, you have a couple of options available to experiment with Az:

environment with Azure Cloud Shell. Azure Cloud Shell is a browser-based shell environment that comes with the Az module installed and Enable-AzureRM
compatibility aliases enabled.To upgrade from an existing AzureRM install:
If your scripts are still based on the AzureRM module, we have several resources to help you with the migration:
Az is the most current PowerShell module for Azure. Issues or feature requests can be logged directly on the GitHub repository, or via Microsoft support if you have a support contract. Feature requests are implemented in the latest version of Az. Critical issues are implemented on the last two versions of Az.
Because Az PowerShell modules now have all the capabilities of AzureRM PowerShell modules and more, we've deprecated the AzureRM PowerShell modules as of February 29, 2024.
To avoid service interruptions, update your scripts that use AzureRM PowerShell modules to use Az PowerShell modules. To automatically update your scripts, follow the quickstart guide.
Data collectionAzure 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 doesn't 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.
