Keep Azure PowerShell up-to-date

Q. Is there an easy way to keep my Azure PowerShell module up-to-date?

A. Microsoft updates the Azure PowerShell module very frequently and it takes time to manually go check for a newer version at GitHub (https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell) or re-run the platform installer from https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/powershell-install-configure/ (specifically http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=320376&clcid=0x409).

A better approach is to use an automated method and one is available at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mast/archive/2015/04/12/keeping-azure-powershell-current.aspx which will check automatically to keep your Azure PowerShell up-to-date.
