An Microsoft Azure speed test module for PowerShell. This module performs basic network latency tests to one or more Azure regions and returns the results.
You can use this module to determine the closest (network-wise) Azure region to you. This information can be helpful in determinining where best to deploy your Azure resources.
The easiest and prefered way to install AzSpeedTest is via the PowerShell Gallery. To use the PowerShell Gallery, you must be on Windows 10, have PowerShell 5, or PowerShell 3 or 4 with the PowerShellGet module. See the PowerShell Gallery Getting Started page for more information. Run the following command to install AzSpeedTest.
C:\> Install-Module -Name AzSpeedTest -Repository PSGallery
