End-to-End Sample Workflow

Login to Azure before running Azure PowerShell scripts using Azure Login. Refer Azure Login action on how to configure Azure credentials.

Once login is done, Azure PowerShell action will use the same session to run the script.

Sample workflow to run inlinescript using Azure PowerShell

on: [push]

name: AzurePowerShellSample

jobs:

  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    
    - name: Login via Az module
      uses: azure/login@v1.1
      with:
        creds: ${{secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS}}
        enable-AzPSSession: true 
        
    - name: Run Azure PowerShell script
      uses: azure/powershell@v1
      with:
        inlineScript: |
          Get-AzVM -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11"
        azPSVersion: '3.1.0'

Azure PowerShell Script to be executed can be given under inlineScript as shown in the sample workflow.

Both Azure Login and Azure PowerShell action uses Az module.

Currently, Azure PowerShell action only supports ubuntu and windows runners. MacOS is not supported.
