Description
Gets the configs of Azure PowerShell. By default it lists all the configs. You can filter the result using various parameters.
Note
Configs have priorities. Generally speaking, Process scope has higher priority than CurrentUser scope; a config that applies to a certain cmdlet has higher priority than that applies to a module, again higher than Az.
To reduce confusion, the result of Get-AzConfig
shows those configs that are taking effect. It is a combination of all the configs, but not literally all the configs. However, you could always view them by applying different filter parameters, such as -Scope
.

-DisableInstanceDiscovery
Set it to true to disable both instance discovery and authority validation. This functionality is intended for use in scenarios where the metadata endpoint cannot be reached, such as in private clouds or Azure Stack.

By setting this to true, the validation of the authority is disabled. As a result, it is crucial to ensure that the configured authority host is valid and trustworthy.
