Azure Resource Management: Switch-AzureMode is not recognized
For all of you working in Visual Studio with the Azure Resource Management (ARM) templates: When you get the PowerShell exception that the cmdlet Switch-AzureMode cannot be found, please take note of the following: 23 November: Microsoft released Azure PowerShell 1.0 and deprecated / removed the former ARM Switch-AzureMode completely. Based on clear feedback this stateful model was absolutely not desired: https://azure.microsoft.com/nl-nl/blog/azps-1-0/ 30 November: Microsoft released Azure SDK 2.8. This incorporates new ARM templates for Visual Studio, based on the new ARM cmdlets. You can download the SDK over here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/archive-net-downloads/ 30 November: Microsoft released Visual Studio 2015 update 1. This does not update Azure SDK. You will need to update the SDK yourself. So bottom-line, don’t mix Azure PowerShell 1.0 with the former versions of Azure SDK pre 2.8. Enjoy working with the ARM toolset!
