   Hi Pavan-Microsoft, I verified that the next Cloud Shell image release will have azd version 1.19.0. It will roll out in ~3-4 weeks. Are there templates or workloads that are failing with azd 1.17 in Cloud Shell today?

   Hi Mitchell Bifeld (@mbifeld), yes—we tried deploying Conversation Knowledge Mining Solution Accelerator

   As a workaround, we followed these steps to install azd v1.18.0 in Cloud Shell:

   1. Open Cloud Shell

      In the Azure Portal, click the Cloud Shell icon (>_) in the top bar.
      Choose Bash if prompted.

   2. Prepare installation directories

   mkdir -p ~/azd ~/bin

   • ~/azd will host the azd binaries.
   • ~/bin will contain a symlink to your chosen azd version.

   3. Install azd v1.18.0 locally

   curl -fsSL https://aka.ms/install-azd.sh | bash -s -- --install-folder ~/azd --symlink-folder ~/bin --version 1.18.0

   What this does:

   • Downloads and executes the official installer script.
   • Places the v1.18.0 binaries in ~/azd.
   • Creates ~/bin/azd as a symlink to the new binary.

   4. Ensure ~/bin is first in your PATH

   Cloud Shell’s default profile prepends ~/bin to PATH. To verify:

   echo $PATH | tr ':' ' ' | head -n 3

   You should see ~/bin listed at or near the top. If not, add this to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile:

   echo 'export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

   Then reload:

   source ~/.bashrc

   5. Confirm the new azd version

   azd version

   Expected output sample:

   Azure Developer CLI (azd) Version: 1.18.0 Commit: <commit-hash>
   

   6. Retry your deployment

   azd up

   Deployments should proceed without the “minimum azd version” error.

   7. (Optional) Revert to the built-in azd

   If you ever need to go back to the Cloud Shell’s default azd:

   rm ~/bin/azd
   rm -rf ~/azd

   ---

   Awesome, glad you found a workaround for the time being until the next Cloud Shell release :)
