You can now preview deployment operations with 'azd deploy --preview' before making changes, across App Service, Container Apps, Functions, Static Web Apps, AKS, and AI endpoints. A new beta 'azd env unset' command removes stored environment values, protecting AZURE_ENV_NAME and requiring '--force' for non-interactive removal. Extension SDK contracts for deployment previews, telemetry, and principal lookup graduate to stable v1 in 1.37.0. A breaking change makes exported environment and state path Go APIs return errors, which makes path-validation failures explicit. Bundled tools got updates too: Bicep CLI to v0.48.1 and GitHub CLI to v2.102.0. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I preview what azd deploy will do before actually deploying to Azure? Run 'azd deploy --preview' to inspect deployment operations without making changes. It works for App Service, Container Apps, Functions, Static Web Apps, Azure Kubernetes Service, and AI endpoints, showing the resolved Azure target with structured target and host details available in JSON output. This was added in Azure Developer CLI 1.37.0. _Developers automating Azure deployments can track CLI changes like this one on daily.dev._ ### How do I remove a stored environment variable in Azure Developer CLI without deleting the whole environment? Use the beta command 'azd env unset' followed by the exact, case-sensitive key names, for example 'azd env unset OLD_API_URL OLD_FEATURE_FLAG --environment dev'. It asks for confirmation, protects AZURE_ENV_NAME from removal, and leaves other environments and process variables untouched. Non-interactive removal requires passing '--force'. _Teams managing azd environment configs can follow CLI updates like this on daily.dev._ ### Can I deploy container images to Azure Container Apps express environments with azd? Yes, using the existing 'containerapp' host with 'host: containerapp' in configuration. Azure Developer CLI detects the environment's express mode and updates the image without setting a custom revision suffix or traffic weights, using the image-based deployment strategy since express mode doesn't support multiple revisions or traffic splitting. _Developers choosing a Container Apps deployment strategy can keep up with azd capabilities via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Everything released in September 2026 for Azure Developer CLI](https://daily.dev/posts/everything-released-in-september-2026-for-azure-developer-cli-xoyndwp0i) · DevBlogs · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Azure Developer CLI \(azd\) – August 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/azure-developer-cli-azd-august-2026-esgz7wxcv) · DevBlogs · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Azure Developer CLI \(azd\) July 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/azure-developer-cli-azd-july-2026-vf7bbu4ha) · DevBlogs · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Azure Developer CLI \(azd\) Dec 2025 – Extensions Enhancements, Foundry Rebranding, and Azure Pipelines Improvements](https://daily.dev/posts/azure-developer-cli-azd-dec-2025-extensions-enhancements-foundry-rebranding-and-azure-pipeline-tycdodiby) · DevBlogs · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [Azure Developer CLI \(azd\) – May and June 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/azure-developer-cli-azd-may-and-june-2026-zer3zofi6) · DevBlogs · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#azure](https://daily.dev/tags/azure), [#cicd](https://daily.dev/tags/cicd), [#golang](https://daily.dev/tags/golang) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/everything-released-in-october-2026-for-azure-developer-cli-hpbouvqzt) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Everything released in October 2026 for Azure Developer CLI","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/everything-released-in-october-2026-for-azure-developer-cli-hpbouvqzt","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/everything-released-in-october-2026-for-azure-developer-cli-hpbouvqzt"},"datePublished":"2026-10-30T19:02:37.999Z","dateModified":"2026-10-30T19:03:04.933Z","description":"The October 2026 Azure Developer CLI (azd) recap covers releases 1.35.0 through 1.37.2.
