How to publish a Runbook to latest runtime version using blob storage?

Question

Hi, so i have written a Powershell script that publish a files to my blob storage, and i got it to upload the file(s) to Process Automation/Runbooks.

But i cant seem to get the Runtime version to the latest, how can i do that?

Right now a part of the code looks like this.

Update om text.

Its needed that everything is done automaticly, i want to avoid needed to go into the portal and change version myself. Then i might aswell upload that way and get latest version.

Write-Output "Publishing runbook '$RunbookName' to Azure Automation..."

try {

if (-not (Get-AzAutomationRunbook -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -AutomationAccountName $AutomationAccountName -Name $RunbookName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {

    Write-Output "Creating new runbook '$RunbookName'..."

    New-AzAutomationRunbook -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName `

        -AutomationAccountName $AutomationAccountName `

        -Name $RunbookName `

        -Type PowerShell

} else {

    Write-Output "Runbook '$RunbookName' already exists. Updating content..."

Hello Andre, Welcome to MS Q&A

To update the Runtime version for Azure Process Automation/Runbooks using PowerShell, you can follow these steps:

Create a Runtime Environment:

• Sign in to the Azure portal and select your Automation account.
  • Under Process Automation, select Runtime Environments (preview).
    • Select Create to create a new PowerShell Runtime environment (e.g., PowerShell 7.2).
      • Fill in the required details and select Create.
      Update the Runbook:

      - In the Automation account, navigate to the Runbooks page and select the runbook linked to the old Runtime environment.
      
         - Select Edit in the portal.
      
            - From the dropdown, select the new Runtime environment you created.
      
               - Make necessary changes to the runbook code to ensure compatibility with the new Runtime version.
      
                  - Test the upgraded runbook using the Test pane.
      
                     - Once confirmed, publish the runbook to production.
      

By following these steps, you can successfully update the Runtime version of your Azure Automation runbooks.
