An Azure service that provides an event-driven serverless compute platform.
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 7.6 — Preview
- PowerShell 7.4 — GA
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-runtimesor 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.
