Description

The Get-AzureSubscription cmdlet gets the subscriptions in your Azure account. You can use this cmdlet to get information about the subscription and to pipe the subscription to other cmdlets.

Get-AzureSubscription requires access to your Azure accounts. Before you run Get-AzureSubscription, you must run the Add-AzureAccount cmdlet or the cmdlets that download and install a publish settings file (Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile, Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile.

This topic describes the cmdlet in the 0.8.10 version of the Microsoft Azure PowerShell module. To get the version of the module you're using, in the Azure PowerShell console, type (Get-Module -Name Azure).Version.

Examples

Example 1: Get all subscriptions

C:\PS>Get-AzureSubscription

This command gets all subscriptions in the account.

Example 2: Get a subscription by name

C:\PS>Get-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionName "MyProdSubscription"

This command gets only the "MyProdSubsciption" subscription.

Example 3: Get the default subscription

C:\PS>(Get-AzureSubscription -Default).SubscriptionName

This command gets only the name of the default subscription. The command first gets the subscription and then uses the dot method to get the SubscriptionName property of the subscription.

Example 4: Get selected subscription properties

C:\PS>Get-AzureSubscription -Current | Format-List -Property SubscriptionName, Certificate

This command returns a list with the name and certificate of the current subscription. It uses a Get-AzureSubscription command to get the current subscription. Then it pipes the subscription to a Format-List command that displays the selected properties in a list.

Example 5: Use an alternate subscription data file

C:\PS>Get-AzureSubscription -SubscriptionDataFile "C:\Temp\MySubscriptions.xml"

This command gets subscriptions from the C:\Temp\MySubscriptions.xml subscription data file. Use the SubscriptionDataFile parameter if you specified an alternate subscription data file when you ran the Add-AzureAccount or Import-PublishSettingsFile cmdlets.
