Azure Developer CLI (azd) – May and June 2026
The Azure Developer CLI (azd) May and June 2026 combined release covers nine versions (1.24.3 through 1.26.0). Key additions include a new azd tool command group for discovering and managing development tools, azd exec for cross-platform script execution with full azd environment context including Key Vault secrets, Go language support for Azure Functions on Flex Consumption, self-contained extension bundles for registry-free sharing, and per-tenant subscription filters. Safety improvements include an interactive Ctrl+C cancel prompt during provisioning and safer multi-layer provisioning with explicit dependsOn in azure.yaml. Numerous concurrency bugs were fixed, including cross-service image contamination in parallel Container Apps deploys with ACR remote builds, concurrent map write crashes, and parallel dotnet publish race conditions. Authentication fixes address OIDC federated credential mismatches, Cloud Shell credential detection, and stale token caching. Breaking changes affect CI pipelines that parse azd up stage banners.
