    I'm starting to look at the new Powershell cmdlets release with the June 2012 wave of changes and have a couple of questions.

    1) Previously I was using the 'Get-OperationStatus -WaitToComplete' cmdlet to serialize operations that are normally async. I don't see an equivalent in the new cmdlets. How is this done?

    2) The New-AzureDeployment cmdlet works differently in that it seems to require that the cspkg file already be in blob storage (even though cscfg is local). But what cmdlet do I use to get the cspkg file into blob storage? And why this change? I'd like to be able to continue to specify both cspkg and cscfg as local files when I create a new deployment and have the cmdlet upload them for me.

    Hi,

    Can you use  the Management REST API? It should provide all features included in the PowerShell cmdlets, plus more. If you want a feature to be supported in PowerShell, you can submit a feature request on http://www.mygreatwindowsazureidea.com/forums/34192-windows-azure-feature-voting.

    BR,

    Well sure I could, but I want to use Powershell. Having to switch over to the REST API from Powershell is a huge step backwards.

    Hi Curious,

    Thanks for valuable questions and comments. Currently, some functionalities don’t exist in official Windows Azure PowerShell Cmdlets owned by Windows Azure Engineering teams. Therefore, we may need to use both CodePlex and Official ones concurrently to manage Windows Azure services, until full functionalities are supported in Official one.

    Besides, you may add commend(s) at the bottom of the Windows Azure Management Cmdlets page, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/jj152841. Your great feedbacks and commends could help us provide valuable products and services to our customer and partners.

    Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
