Az 16.4.0.41245

What's new in 16.4.0.41245

Az.Compute 11.10.0

• Added '-ScheduleProfileStart' and '-MinimumCommitmentDayCount' parameters to 'New-AzCapacityReservation' to create Future Capacity Reservations, and surfaced the read-only 'ScheduleProfile' (including 'ModifiableUntil') and instance view 'ReservationStateInfo' on 'Get-AzCapacityReservation' output.
• Added 'SpotPlus' as a supported value for the '-Priority' parameter of 'New-AzVM', 'New-AzVMConfig', 'New-AzVmss', and 'New-AzVmssConfig'.
• 'SpotPlus' is the next generation of Azure Spot for VM (Virtual Machine) and VMSS (Virtual Machine Scale Set) deployments, and offers higher reliability and longer running time than 'Spot'.
• '-EvictionPolicy' and '-MaxPrice' behave the same way as they do for 'Spot'.
• Requires the 'Microsoft.Compute/SpotPlus' subscription feature to be registered, and a region where the feature is enabled.
• For 'New-AzVM': If the extension-version catalogue lookup fails, the cmdlet uses the default BGInfo (Background Information) extension version, and installation failures now emit a warning rather than terminating the cmdlet.
• Added cmdlets and parameters to configure first-party service tags for implicit public IP addresses on VMs (Virtual Machines) and VMSS (Virtual Machine Scale Sets).
• Added extension release metadata support to 'Get-AzVMExtensionImage'.
• Use '-Expand Properties' when listing extension versions to include release category, urgency level, and run profile metadata. Azure/azure-powershell-cmdlet-review-pr#1571
