Using Az modules

So far, all examples have used AzureRM modules. The previously shown runbooks will be re-written to use cmdlets from the Az module.

As mentioned before, Az modules are not installed by default. They can be installed using the Modules gallery menu item in Azure Automation.

Search for Az in the gallery and the results will show multiple modules related to it. If the Az module is selected to be imported and installed, it will throw an error saying that its dependent modules are not installed and that they should be installed before installing the current module. The module can be found on the Modules gallery blade by searching for Az, as shown in Figure 4.13:
