* Upgraded 'Azure.Identity' dependency to 1.21.0.
* Upgraded 'Azure.Identity.Broker' dependency from 1.1.0 to 1.6.0.
* Upgraded 'System.ClientModel' dependency from 1.8.0 to 1.12.0.
* Upgraded 'System.Text.Json' dependency from 8.0.6 to 10.0.3.

* Upgraded 'Microsoft.Identity.Client.NativeInterop' from 0.20.2 to 0.20.4.
* Fixed 'MicrosoftGraphUrl' not being populated when ARM (Azure Resource Manager) metadata returns endpoint without trailing slash

Az.Aks
* Added support for 'AzureContainerLinux' OS SKU in 'New-AzAksCluster' ('-NodeOsSKU') and 'New-AzAksNodePool' ('-OsSKU')
   - Azure Container Linux is a container-optimized, immutable Linux OS for AKS node images. See https://aka.ms/azurecontainerlinux
* Bumped API version to 2026-03-01

Az.AppConfiguration
* Upgraded API version from 2024-06-01 to 2026-04-01
   - Added support for Description field for Key Values and Snapshots

Az.Automation
* Updated Automation account identity handling to explicitly use the Automation SDK 'Identity' model in create/update flows.

Az.Batch
* Fixed module load conflict by aligning 'Microsoft.ApplicationInsights' to the common 2.18.0 dependency version, resolving 'Assembly with same name is already loaded' error.

Az.CognitiveServices
* Updated Cognitive Services account identity handling to explicitly use the Cognitive Services SDK 'Identity' model in create/update flows.

Az.Compute
* ComputeRP related cmdlets will now use 2026-03-01 version of the ComputeRP API.
* Added support for configuring ScheduledEventsPolicy on Virtual Machines, Virtual Machine Scale Sets, and Availability Sets.
   - Added '-ScheduledEventsApiVersion' and '-EnableAllInstancesDown' parameters to 'Update-AzAvailabilitySet', 'Update-AzVM', 'New-AzVM' (SimpleParameterSet), and 'New-AzVmss' cmdlets.
   - Added '-ScheduledEventsApiVersion' and '-EnableAllInstancesDown' parameters to 'Update-AzVmss'. These parameters are only supported when updating via the '-VirtualMachineScaleSet' object parameter (e.g. piping the output of 'Get-AzVmss'); using them with the PATCH parameter sets will throw an error.
* Added VMSS (Virtual Machine Scale Set) Lifecycle Hooks support (public preview)
   - Added 'New-AzVmssLifecycleHookConfig' cmdlet to create an in-memory lifecycle hook configuration object
   - Added 'Set-AzVmssLifecycleHooksProfile' cmdlet to attach lifecycle hooks to a VMSS configuration or live VMSS object
   - Added 'Remove-AzVmssLifecycleHook' cmdlet to remove one hook by '-Type' or all hooks with '-All' from a live VMSS
   - Added 'Get-AzVmssLifecycleHookEvent' cmdlet to list or retrieve lifecycle hook events for a VMSS
   - Added 'Update-AzVmssLifecycleHookEvent' cmdlet to respond to a lifecycle hook event (approve, reject, or delay) with optional per-VM instance filtering via '-InstanceId'
   - Added '-LifecycleHooksProfile' parameter to 'New-AzVmssConfig' to support inline lifecycle hooks profile construction

Az.DataFactory

* Updated the retention rule '-Name' help messages in 'Edit-AzDataProtectionPolicyRetentionRuleClientObject' for clarity

Az.Dns
* Added support for linking a DNS record set to an Azure Traffic Manager profile (Traffic Manager link, also known as TMLink)
   - Added '-TrafficManagerProfileId' to 'New-AzDnsRecordSet'
   - 'Get-AzDnsRecordSet' and 'Set-AzDnsRecordSet' now expose 'TrafficManagerProfileId' for round-trip updates

Az.IotHub
* Updated 'Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions' dependency from '8.0.2' to '10.0.3'.

Az.KeyVault
* Updated 'System.Security.Cryptography.Cng' dependency from '4.5.0' to '5.0.0'.
