Azure Local Releases Tool

The artifacts in this repository help increasing observability and traceability of Azure Local releases by offering details of them via a PowerShell cmdlet or as JSON through an API running Pode.

Important

This tool only covers generic Azure Local releases as parsed from Microsoft's documentation. Please verify with specific OEM hardware vendors' documentation for supported installation/upgrade paths according to their particular compatibility matrices

🎬 Demo

See a live demo of the Azure Local Releases Pode API at https://releases.azurelocal.graa.dev (hosted as an Azure Container App).
