Determine the Guest OS version of an Azure Cloud Service

How does one determine the Guest OS version running on a Cloud Service? I cannot find this info exposed in either the Old (https://manage.windowsazure.com) or New (https://portal.azure.com) Azure Portal.

My Cloud Services are setup to use "*" as the osVersion so I realize the Guest OS gets updated as new versions are released. I just want to know what version I am currently running.

You might ask why I need to know? Well currently I want to know if my VMs are running the new Guest OS that supports .NET v4.5.2. But the broader question still applies.

You can browse to the Cloud Service resource using https://resources.azure.com. That will reveal the OSVersion property.

It also reveals the PowerShell command to retrieve it, which should be similar to this:\

Get-AzureRmResource –ResourceGroupName <name> –ResourceType Microsoft.ClassicCompute/domainNames/slots/roles –ResourceName <cloudservicename/slot/rolename> –ApiVersion 2015-06-01 | select –ExpandProperty Properties | select OsVersion
