Description

Currently, the only way to deploy and manage PowerShell modules in Azure Automation is to supply a URI. The portal lets you choose a module from the modules gallery. Thhis make managing modules complicated as you have to download the module and upload it to your own storage account and repeat the process every time a new version comes out.

Hi @itamar56 thanks for you feedback, i believe this feature request is very much reasonable. but for now, the gallery modules cannot managed by terraform and there isn't such API fot azurerm to featch the gallery module list.

to simplify your operation to use the gallery module, you can use browser devtools to find the link of gallery modules in this API https://s2.automation.ext.azure.com/api/Orchestrator/GalleryModuleItems?pageLink=&filter=&orderBy=1 (open it in browset when logged in portal) . change the filter value if you want to query by module name.

you can use this link to deploy the automation module:
