Please see the \"Argument Completers\" heading below for more information.\n\nThe Azure PowerShell Extensions module is being developed and tested against PowerShell 5.0 on Windows 10 Enterprise RTM (Build 10240).\nPowerShell 5.0 introduces the centralized [PowerShell Gallery](http://powershellgallery.com), which is exposed via the built-in `PowerShellGet` module.\nPowerShell 5.0 can be installed on down-level operating systems, including Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2, by way of the *\"Windows Management Framework 5.0\"* package.\n\nIn PowerShell 5.0, using the `Find-Module` command, you can search for the latest version of the `AzureExt` module.\n\n```\nPS C:\\Users\\TrevorSullivan\u003e Find-Module -Name AzureExt | Format-Table -AutoSize\n\nVersion Name     Repository Description\n------- ----     ---------- -----------\n0.1.31  AzureExt PSGallery  This PowerShell module provides extensions on top of the core Microsoft Azure Service Ma...\n```\n\nUsing PowerShellGet's `Install-Module` command, you can easily install the `AzureExt` module.\nYou can use the `-Scope` parameter to install the module for the currently logged-in user, or for all users of the system.\nTo install a PowerShell module for all users, you must be running the PowerShell process as an Administrator of the system.\n\n```\nInstall-Module -Name AzureExt -Scope CurrentUser;\n```\n\nWhen a new version of the module has been released, make sure to update it.\n\n```\nUpdate-Module -Name AzureExt;\n```\n\nFor more information about `PowerShellGet` commands, use PowerShell's core `Get-Command` command:\n\n```\nPS C:\\Users\\TrevorSullivan\u003e Get-Command -Module PowerShellGet | Format-Table -AutoSize;\n\nCommandType Name                    Version Source\n----------- ----                    ------- ------\nFunction    Find-Module             1.0     PowerShellGet\nFunction    Get-InstalledModule     1.0     PowerShellGet\nFunction    Get-PSRepository        1.0     PowerShellGet\nFunction    Install-Module          1.0     PowerShellGet\nFunction    Publish-Module          1.0     PowerShellGet\nFunction    Register-PSRepository   1.0     PowerShellGet\nFunction    Save-Module             1.0     PowerShellGet\nFunction    Set-PSRepository        1.0     PowerShellGet\nFunction    Uninstall-Module        1.0     PowerShellGet\nFunction    Unregister-PSRepository 1.0     PowerShellGet\nFunction    Update-Module           1.0     PowerShellGet\n```\n\n# Usage\n\nOnce the module has been installed, simply call `Import-Module -Name AzureExt;` in order to begin using its features.\nPowerShell 3.0 and later support a concept called \"module auto-loading,\" which enables certain features (eg. explicitly exported aliases and functions) to be accessed without explicitly importing the module.\nHowever, we recommend importing the module, to ensure that all features (including auto-completers) are accessible.\n\n# Features\n\n## Functions\n\nThe `AzureExt` PowerShell module includes some useful functions that make it easier to work with the Azure PowerShell module. These are not intended to replace the Azure PowerShell module, but to provide a more user-friendly experience on top of it.\n\n- **Remove-AzuremRmResourceGroupGui** - This command enables you to delete multiple Microsoft Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Resource Groups at once, by CTRL + clicking them in the dialog that pops up\n- **Start-AzureRm** - The Microsoft Azure Resource Manager (ARM) PowerShell module removed the default behavior of caching your token. To simplify logging into Azure, each time you start a new PowerShell session, the `Start-AzureRm` command caches your token, and if it has expired, then it will prompt you to authenticate using the faster-loading `Get-Credential` command.\n\n## Aliases\n\nThe abbreviation \"az\" will generally be used to refer to \"Azure\" in PowerShell command aliases, to differentiate them from other aliases.\n\nThe following aliases are supported by this module:\n\n### Azure Profile\n\nThe following PowerShell aliases apply to Azure authentication and subscription management.\n\n- **aazac** - Add-AzureAccount\n- **razac** - Remove-AzureAccount\n\n### Virtual Machines\n\nThe following PowerShell aliases apply to Virtual Machine commands.\n\n- **nazvmc** - New-AzureVMConfig\n\n\n### Azure Storage\n\n- **nazsa** - New-AzureStorageAccount\n- **razsa** - Remove-AzureStorageAccount\n\n## Auto-Completion\n\nAuto-completers are PowerShell ScriptBlocks that provide Intellisense \u0026 tab-completion for PowerShell command parameter values. \nThese functions require the presence of the `Register-ArgumentCompleter` PowerShell command, which is available in PowerShell version 5.0.\n\n**NOTE**: The AzureExt module **must** be imported in order for the Intellisense extensions to be registered.\nTo simplify this process, each time you launch a new PowerShell session, you can add a line to your PowerShell profile to import the module:\n\n```\nImport-Module -Name AzureExt;\nStart-AzureRm;\n```\n\n**IMPORTANT**: For most argument completer functions, you must be authenticated to Microsoft Azure.\nStarting with the 1.0 release of the Azure Resource Manager module, token caches are not automatically saved between PowerShell sessions. To simplify the process of authenticating each time you login, we created a command called `Start-AzureRm`.\n\nFor Azure Service Management commands, use `Add-AzureAccount` to login. \nFor Azure Resource Manager commands, use `Login-AzureRmAccount` to login.\n\nThis module includes auto-completion for the following Azure entitites.\n\n### Service Management\n\n- Subscription names\n- Cloud Service names\n- Virtual Machine names\n\n### Resource Manager \n\n- Azure Locations\n- Resource Group names\n- Virtual Machine names\n- Storage Accounts\n- Resource Name, Resource Type, Resource Group Name for generic ARM \"resource\" commands\n\n## Snippets\n\nThe AzureExt module provides a number of useful PowerShell code snippets that can be used in the PowerShell Integrated Scripting Editor (ISE). Snippets are provided for things such as:\n\n- JSON declaration of Azure Resource Manager (ARM) resources\n  - For example, you could build an ARM JSON Template in a PowerShell here-string, without leaving the ISE\n- Deploy an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) JSON Template\n\nTo utilize these code snippets, run the following commands:\n\n```\nImport-Module -Name AzureExt;\nImport-IseSnippet -Module AzureExt;\n```\n\n## Built-in Help\n\n# Authors\n\nThe founder of this project is [Trevor Sullivan](https://trevorsullivan.net).\n\n# Contributing\n\nYou can participate in the development of the Azure PowerShell Extensions module in a variety of different ways.\n\n## Issues / Enhancements\n\nYou can report bugs or feature enhancements on the GitHub Issue Tracker.\n\n## Chat\n\nYou can participate in project chat using the Gitter service.\n\n[![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/pcgeek86/azure-powershell-extensions?utm_source=badge\u0026utm_medium=badge\u0026utm_campaign=pr-badge)\n\n## Pull Requests\n\nIf you want to add a feature and submit a Pull Request, feel free to. \nSimply fork the project into your own repository, commit to a new branch, and then submit a Pull Request targeting the `master` branch of this project.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpcgeek86%2Fazure-powershell-extensions","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpcgeek86%2Fazure-powershell-extensions","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpcgeek86%2Fazure-powershell-extensions/lists"}
