PowerShell is a powerful scripting tool that can greatly expedite your admin tasks. PowerShell combines command-line speed, the flexibility of scripting, and the power of a GUI-based admin tool.
Azure PowerShell is a set of modules that provide cmdlets to manage Azure with Windows PowerShell. You can use the cmdlets to create, test, deploy, and manage solutions and services delivered through the Azure platform. In most cases, the cmdlets can be used for the same tasks as the Azure Management Portal, such as creating and configuring cloud services, virtual machines, virtual networks, and web apps. The cmdlets need your subscription so they can manage your services. Use your email address and password associated with your account. Azure authenticates and saves the credential information.
Today, using PowerShell, it is possible to accomplish nearly everything from the command line that is possible in the Azure Portal. In fact, many tasks can only be performed using PowerShell, and some tasks can be managed more granularly using PowerShell. To provide the same support for working with Azure, PowerShell is also available to configure and manage many aspects of Microsoft Azure, including virtual machine and storage provisioning, and network configuration.
First Time installation
WebAPI installer : Download
Command Line : PowerShell Gallery
Note :
- The WebPI installer will install the Azure modules in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\PowerShell.
- PowerShell Gallery modules will normally install in %ProgramFiles%\WindowsPowerShell\Modules.
Install Azure PowerShell from the PowerShell Gallery using an elevated ((Run as Administrator) Windows PowerShell or PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) prompt using the following commands:

NuGet provider is required to continue
PowerShellGet requires NuGet provider version '2.8.5.201' or newer to interact with NuGet-based repositories. The NuGet provider must be available in 'C:\Program
Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies' or 'C:\Users\aanan\AppData\Local\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies'. You can also install the NuGet provider by running 'Install-PackageProvider
-Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force'. Do you want PowerShellGet to install and import the NuGet provider now?
[Y] Yes [N] No [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"): Y
Untrusted repository
You are installing the modules from an untrusted repository. If you trust this repository, change its InstallationPolicy value by running the Set-PSRepository cmdlet. Are you sure you want to
install the modules from 'PSGallery'?
