Included CmdLets and aliases

Invoke-AzCli

Invoke the Azure CLI (az) from PowerShell and make processing the output easier in PowerShell.

Unless specified otherwise, converts the output from JSON to a custom object. This makes further processing of the output in PowerShell much easier.

It provides better error handling, so that a script fails if the Azure CLI fails.

In some scenarios the Azure CLI changes console output colors, but does not change them back to what they were. This may happen for errors, verbose output, and in some other cases. Invoke-AzCli fixes the console colors back to what they were before calling Azure CLI.

Allows to set most of the common or often used Azure CLI parameters through PowerShell parameters:

• -Output for --output. Setting -Output, --output, or -Raw stops Invoke-AzCli from converting the output of Azure CLI to custom objects.
• -Help for --help.
• -Query for --query.
• -Subscription for --subscription. -Subscription provides argument completion for subscription names and subscription IDs for the logged-in account.
• -ResourceGroup for --resource-group -ResourceGroup provides argument completion for resource group names for the active subscription, or the subscription provides with -Subscription.
• -CliVerbosity NoWarnings for --only-show-errors
• -CliVerbosity Verbose for --verbose.
• -CliVerbosity Debug for --debug.

In most cases only the PowerShell or the Azure CLI version of a parameter can be used. Specifying both is an error.

For full help, run Get-Help Invoke-AzureCli -Full.
