Azure Automation takes another step towards becoming the **best-in-class platform** for resource management in an adaptive cloud.
Azure Automation introduces **Runtime environment** (preview) that provides a simple and hassle-free experience for updating scripts to the latest language versions. It also provides complete control to configure the script execution environment, without worrying about conflicting module versions in a single Automation account. All existing runbooks are automatically available in the new Runtime environment experience with zero manual effort. You can navigate seamlessly between old and new experience with a single click.
Additionally, this feature enables **support for Azure CLI commands** (preview) in PowerShell 7.2 runbooks. You can leverage the combined benefits of rich command set of Azure CLI in Azure Automation runbooks to streamline management of Azure resources.
