Azure PowerShell is a set of PowerShell cmdlets which assist you in managing your assets in Azure using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) and Azure Service Management (RDFE).  Azure PowerShell 3.0.0 adds various improvements and fixes across multiple Azure resources; however, in accordance with semantic versioning, the introduction of a new major revision indicates breaking changes in a small subset of our cmdlets.  You can install the cmdlets via your favorite installation path indicated in the Azure PowerShell 3.0.0 release notes.

Breaking changes

Data Lake Store

The following cmdlets were affected this release (PR 2965):

Get-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl (Get-AdlStoreItemAcl)

• This cmdlet was removed and replaced with Get-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAclEntry (Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry).
• The old cmdlet returned a complex object representing the access control list (ACL). The new cmdlet returns a simple list of entries in the chosen path’s ACL.

# Old
Get-AdlStoreItemAcl -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo

# New
Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo

Get-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAclEntry (Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry)

• This cmdlet replaces the old cmdlet Get-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl (Get-AdlStoreItemAcl).
• This new cmdlet returns a simple list of entries in the chosen path’s ACL, with type DataLakeStoreItemAce[].
• The output of this cmdlet can be passed in to the -Acl parameter of the following cmdlets:
  • Remove-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl
  • Set-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl
  • Set-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAclEntry

# Old
Get-AdlStoreItemAcl -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo

# New
Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo

Remove-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl (Remove-AdlStoreItemAcl), Set-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAcl (Set-AdlStoreItemAcl), Set-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAclEntry (Set-AdlStoreItemAclEntry)

• These cmdlets now accept DataLakeStoreItemAce[] for the -Acl parameter.
• DataLakeStoreItemAce[] is returned by Get-AzureRmDataLakeStoreItemAclEntry (Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry).

# Old
$acl = Get-AdlStoreItemAcl -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo
Set-AdlStoreItemAcl -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo -Acl $acl

# New
$aclEntries = Get-AdlStoreItemAclEntry -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo
Set-AdlStoreItemAcl -Account myadlsaccount -Path /foo -Acl $aclEntries

ApiManagement

The following cmdlets were affected this release (PR 2971):

New-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetwork

• The required parameters to reference a virtual network changed from requiring SubnetName and VnetId to SubnetResourceId in format/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.ClassicNetwork/virtualNetworks/{virtualNetworkName}/subnets/{subnetName}

# Old
$virtualNetwork = New-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetwork -Location <String> -SubnetName <String> -VnetId <Guid>

# New
$virtualNetwork = New-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetwork -Location <String> -SubnetResourceId <String>

Deprecating Cmdlet Set-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetworks

• The Cmdlet is getting deprecated as there was more than one way to Set Virtual Network associated to ApiManagement deployment.

# Old
$networksList = @()
$networksList += New-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetwork -Location $vnetLocation -VnetId $vnetId -SubnetName $subnetName
Set-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetworks -ResourceGroupName "ContosoGroup" -Name "ContosoApi" -VirtualNetworks $networksList

# New
$masterRegionVirtualNetwork = New-AzureRmApiManagementVirtualNetwork -Location <String> -SubnetResourceId <String>
Update-AzureRmApiManagementDeployment -ResourceGroupName "ContosoGroup" -Name "ContosoApi" -VirtualNetwork $masterRegionVirtualNetwork
