Protect sensitive information

Sign in with Web Account Manager (WAM)

Beginning with Az PowerShell module version 12.0.0, Azure PowerShell's default login authentication method for Windows-based systems is Web Account Manager (WAM). For more information, see Web Account Manager (WAM).

New login experience

Beginning with Az PowerShell module version 12.0.0, if you have access to multiple subscriptions, you're prompted to select an Azure subscription to login with. For more information, see Login experience.

Support lifecycle

Beginning with Az PowerShell module version 12.0.0, Azure PowerShell ships two types of generally available releases. Customers can choose Standard Term Support (STS) or Long Term Support (LTS) releases. The quality of all releases is the same. The only difference is the length of support.

Deprecation of AzureRM

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.

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Although the AzureRM module may still function, it's no longer maintained or supported, placing any continued use at the user's discretion and risk.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.

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.
