powershell-azcli

AzCli is a wrapper for the Azure CLI. The JSON output of az is converted to PSCustomObject to make it easy to work with in PowerShell.

It includes helper functions to test whether az is installed and to install it on Windows and on Linux.

Install-AzCli

Install the Azure CLI on Windows or Linux.

Install-AzCli [-Force] [-Quiet] [-Passive] [[-Args] <String[]>] [<CommonParameters>]

Test-AzCli

Tests whether the Azure CLI is installed (or available on the path).

Test-AzCli [<CommonParameters>]

Invoke-AzCli

Invoke the Azure CLI. Returns the results as <PSCustomObject[]> that can be used directly with Select-Object, Where-Object, Sort-Object, etc. If the output is not JSON, it is returned as a raw string. Use the -Raw switch to invoke az directly with no output parsing--useful with interactive commands like az login.

Alias: AzCli

Invoke-AzCli [[-Command] <String[]>] [-Raw] [<CommonParameters>]
