Update Azure CLI to the Latest Version with Az Upgrade

To keep your Azure CLI up-to-date, you can use the Az Upgrade command, which checks for and installs the latest version of the Azure CLI.

Az Upgrade is a simple and efficient way to update your Azure CLI, and it's recommended to use it regularly to ensure you have the latest features and bug fixes.

To run Az Upgrade, simply type az upgrade in your terminal or command prompt, and the command will take care of the rest.

The Az Upgrade command checks for updates and installs the latest version of the Azure CLI, usually within a few minutes.

You can install the Azure CLI using Chocolatey, which is a silent installation method that can also be updated using the command line.

To install the Azure CLI using Chocolatey, run the following command from an administrator PowerShell session:

```bash

cinst azure-cli

```

Alternatively, you can use the Microsoft Installer (MSI) to install or update the Azure CLI on Windows. The MSI updates any existing version without requiring uninstallation.

You can download the latest MSI of the Azure CLI (64-bit) from the official website.

To upgrade Azure CLI, you can use the command az upgrade, which will check the current version against the most recent version available and prompt you to continue with the upgrade if one is available.

You can also use the az upgrade command to enable updating extensions as well, and include preview packages for extension installation if they exist.

To upgrade a managed Kubernetes cluster, you can use the az aks upgrade command, which will make Kubernetes unavailable during the upgrade process.

The az aks upgrade command allows you to specify the version of Kubernetes to upgrade the cluster to, such as "1.16.9", and only upgrade the node image for agent pools if desired.

You can also specify the SKU tier for managed clusters, such as standard or premium, and set the upgrade override until date and time, which must be in a valid date-time format within the next 30 days.

The az aks upgrade command can also be used with the aks-preview extension to upgrade the cluster control plane only, or control plane and all node pools, and update to the latest Azure Dev Spaces client components.

If you're using the aks-preview extension, you can also use the az aks get-upgrades command to get information about available upgrades, although this command has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Managing the versions of Azure CLI modules and extensions is crucial for a smooth update process. You can show the versions of Azure CLI modules and extensions in JSON format by default or format configured by --output using the command "az version".

To display the versions, simply open your terminal and type the command.

Version management is crucial for any Azure CLI user. You can show the versions of Azure CLI modules and extensions in JSON format by default or format configured by --output using the command "az version".

Displaying versions is as simple as running the command. This command is a great way to quickly check which versions of your modules and extensions are installed.

The output will be in JSON format, which can be easily read and understood. This makes it easy to see which versions are installed and what their status is.

You can customize the output format by using the --output option. This is a useful feature if you need to integrate the version information with other tools or scripts.

Updating credentials for a managed Kubernetes cluster is a crucial step in ensuring seamless authentication to Azure APIs. You can use the command `az aks update-credentials` to achieve this.

The ID of an Azure Active Directory client application is required if you're resetting the service principal. This is a key detail to keep in mind when updating your cluster's credentials.

You can also reset the service principal for a managed cluster using the `--reset-service-principal` option. This is useful when you need to re-authenticate with Azure APIs.

The secret of an Azure Active Directory server application is another essential piece of information needed for authentication. Make sure you have this handy when updating your cluster's credentials.

The `--aad-client-app-id` option is deprecated, so be aware that it will be removed in a future release. You can find more information on this at https://aka.ms/aks/aad-legacy.

To remove certain features or configurations from your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster, you can use the `az aks update` command with specific options.

Disable cluster-autoscaler for an existing cluster by running `az aks update --enable-cluster-autoscaler false`.

You can also disable pod security policy by using the `az aks update` command with the `--disable-pod-security-policy` option.

To remove the pod identity addon, run `az aks update --enable-pod-identity false`.

The `az aks update` command can also be used to disable private cluster for apiserver vnet integration cluster by using the `--disable-private-cluster` option.

Additionally, you can disable Static Egress Gateway addon to the cluster by running `az aks update --disable-static-egress-gateway true`.
