@oZakari or @sebassem is this something you have seen before?

Hi @benhogg,

This is a known issue with Azure PowerShell version 13.0.0. For details, please refer to this issue, which includes a link to the Azure PowerShell repository where the product team is actively working on a resolution.

To address module deployment issues in the meantime, check out our wiki. It provides guidance on pinning the Azure PowerShell version to 12.5.0 as a workaround.

Will close this to avoid duplicate threads but if you have additional questions feel free to reach out in the issue within ALZ-Bicep.
