Gets Azure environments

Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
Get-AzureEnvironment [[-Name] <String> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Get-AzureEnvironment cmdlet gets the Azure environments that are available to Windows PowerShell.

An Azure environment an independent deployment of Microsoft Azure, such as AzureCloud for global Azure and AzureChinaCloud for Azure operated by 21Vianet in China. You can also create on-premises Azure environments by using Azure Pack and the WAPack cmdlets. For more information, see Azure Pack (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/windows-azure-pack/default.aspx).

Without parameters, Get-AzureEnvironment gets only selected properties of an environment.

PS C:\> Get-AzureEnvironment | ForEach-Object {Get-AzureEnvironment -Name $_.EnvironmentName}
