Can Microsoft confirm whether Azure Functions Flex Consumption support for PowerShell 7.6 is GA or Preview?

In East US, the following command returns PowerShell 7.6 as the default runtime:

az functionapp list-flexconsumption-runtimes --runtime powershell --location eastus

The output shows:

{

"version": "7.6",

"default": true

}

while PowerShell 7.4 is returned with:

{

"version": "7.4",

"default": false

}

Could Microsoft confirm:

  1. Whether PowerShell 7.6 for Azure Functions Flex Consumption is GA or Preview?
  2. Whether an official announcement or Learn article exists?
  3. Whether this status applies globally or only in certain regions?

    PowerShell 7.6 for Azure Functions is Preview, not GA. PowerShell 7.4 is GA.

    For Azure Functions PowerShell apps, the documented support levels are:

    • PowerShell 7.6Preview
    • PowerShell 7.4GA

    For Flex Consumption specifically, the available runtime versions can vary by region. The documented way to verify regional support is:

    az functionapp list-flexconsumption-runtimes --location <REGION> --runtime powershell --query '[].{version:version}' -o tsv
    

    That command shows which PowerShell versions are supported in a given region for Flex Consumption. If East US returns 7.6 as the default runtime, that indicates 7.6 is available there, but the documented support level for PowerShell 7.6 remains Preview.

    On official documentation:

    • The Azure Functions language support documentation lists PowerShell 7.6 as Preview and PowerShell 7.4 as GA.
    • The Azure Functions PowerShell developer guide also shows that the selectable versions are 7.6 or 7.4, and notes that portal labeling can lag behind the actual support state in some cases. In that guide, PowerShell 7.4 is explicitly called GA.

    On global vs regional scope:

    • Support status in the language support documentation is stated at the Azure Functions language level: 7.6 = Preview, 7.4 = GA.
    • Availability in Flex Consumption is region-dependent, and the supported versions for a region should be checked with az functionapp list-flexconsumption-runtimes or in the portal during Function App creation.

    No official announcement in the provided material states that PowerShell 7.6 has reached GA for Flex Consumption in East US or globally.
