Azure DevOps: Powershell 'Get-AzSubscription' is not recognized

Question

I am deploying an ARM template from azure DevOps using Azure PowerShell as shown below.

This is subscription level deployment. I am getting below error.

The term 'Get-AzSubscription' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser
Import-Module Az
$context = Get-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId xxxxxxxx
Set-AzContext $context


New-azdeployment -Name "SKL" -Location westeurope -TemplateFile .\delegatedResourceManagement.json -TemplateParameterFile .\delegatedResourceManagement.parameters.json

Solution 1

You need to specify the task version: 4.* (Preview) or higher to use the Az powershell module:

Also there is an Azure resource group deployment to deploy ARM template easily:

Solution 2

looks like too much confusion among all az modules, MSFT have messed up az new/old modules and are conflicting with each other. az account show will list all modules with AZ CLI

az account show

As my templates will be deployed at the subscription level, Azure resource group deployment won't work. Task version=4.*(preview) worked.thanks.
