Notes from design meeting:

• Cmdlets to introduce:
  • Get-AzureRmDefaultResourceGroup -Name <arg>
  • Set-AzureRmDefaultResourceGroup -Name <arg>
    • If no value provided, create resource group
  • Clear-AzureRmDefaultResourceGroup
• Consider if these cmdlets should be consolidated into Get/Set/Clear-AzureRmDefault with parameters -ResourceGroupName, -Location, etc.
• Check into default parameters for PowerShell for a session that can be manipulated
• Look into sticky parameters
  • Check for multiple uses and try to set accordingly
