[BUG] Cloud shell is not running the latest version and cannot be upgraded.

[jonwbstr]

To Reproduce

Launch a cloud shell from the azure portal

Observed Behavior

VERBOSE: Authenticating to Azure ...
WARNING: You're using Az version 12.4.0. The latest version of Az is 13.0.0. Upgrade your Az modules using the following commands:
  Update-PSResource Az -WhatIf    -- Simulate updating your Az modules.
  Update-PSResource Az            -- Update your Az modules.
There will be breaking changes from 12.4.0 to 13.0.0. Open https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2241373 and check the details.
VERBOSE: Building your Azure drive ...
PS /home/protected> update-psresource az                                                                       
Update-PSResource: No installed packages were found with name 'az' in scope 'CurrentUser'. First install package using 'Install-PSResource'.

Expected behavior

Cloud shell should be using the latest version? Or,
This warning should be suppressed?

Is this specific to Cloud Shell?

Yes, I also can't seem to update the AZ modules from the cloud shell

Interface information

Edge on Windows 11

Hi @jonwbstr , Cloud Shell will update to the latest az cli and Az PowerShell module in January. Thank you for reporting the issue self-upgrading, we will look into it for the future.

@jonwbstr : This is a warning generated by Az Powershell module and it does show up in cloud shell though as you rightly said the user cannot immediately upgrade the cmdlet and this applies more for personal clients. For updated powershell version we need to release a new cloud shell image.

For now, we will explore removing these warnings as it is not actionable by the user anyway.

Hi Mitch, The bug is that there is a notification to upgrade when the user is unable to upgrade. The fix to this issue is suppressing the notification to upgrade in the cloud shell image. Thanks!
