Copilot in Azure Agent

This agent is designed to connect you to the Copilot in Azure experience directly from your command line. It provides assistance for Azure CLI commands, Azure PowerShell commands, and general Azure knowledge. To use this agent, you need to sign in to Azure using the az login command from Azure CLI.

Important

You must use sign in to Azure using the Azure CLI command. We're working on supporting the Connect-AzAccount command from Azure PowerShell.

Prerequisites

  • Windows 11 21H2 or higher
  • Windows Terminal v1.19 or higher
  • Azure CLI version 2.30.0 or higher installed and signed in to the allowed tenant

Sample Questions

  • "How do I create a new resource group with Azure CLI?"
  • "How can I list out the storage accounts I have in Azure PowerShell?"
  • "What is Application Insights?"
  • "How to create a web app with Azure CLI?"

Improvements in AI Shell v1.0.0-preview.2

The Preview 2 release includes the following enhancements:

  • The Azure agent support authentication using either the Connect-AzAccount command from Azure PowerShell or the az login command from Azure CLI.
  • The /replace command now supports Azure PowerShell. The agent walks you through replacement of parameter values in generated Azure PowerShell responses.

Telemetry and configuration

The Copilot in Azure agent captures a small set of telemetry data. The telemetry data captured contains no personal identifiable information. The agent only captures product usage data to help us improve the product experience.

When you allow telemetry, the agent only collects the following information:

  • The / command that you used
  • The number of questions asked
  • The type of operating system used
  • Any exceptions encountered during usage
  • The details provided using the /like or /dislike commands

You can disable this telemetry by modifying the telemetry property in the configuration file. The Azure agent configuration is stored in a JSON file. You can view and edit the JSON config file by using the /agent config command in AI Shell. The available settings are:

{
  "logging": true,
  "telemetry": true
}

When logging is enabled, the agent writes logs in the ~/.aish/agent-config/azure directory. To disable logging, set the logging property to false.

To disable telemetry, set the telemetry property to false.
