If you are like me that like to have all the tools on your desktop/laptop, special the Azure PowerShell module, now your live is way easier. Not long time ago, you had to download the Azure PowerShell module through the Web Platform. But now, there a simpler way.

I found this when I need to replace my Surface Pro. Through PowerShellGet module, all the modules related to Azure are on GitHub, so it is way simpler to get always the most update version of the cmdlets to manage Azure. The PowerShellGet comes on Windows 10. To verify if you are running the most updated version, run the following cmdlet:

Get-Module PowerShellGet -list | Select-Object Name,Versio__n,Path

You should get an output like this:
