SharePoint: Modifications in the Embedded container type creation cmdlets in PowerShell

🚨 The Signal: SharePoint PowerShell cmdlets for container type creation are split into two: one for creation and one for billing. This change improves administrative granularity over resource provisioning and cost attribution, enhancing governance and security oversight.

The Impact

SharePoint administrators are affected, with a low security risk related to potential misconfiguration of billing.

• SharePoint Admins: Must update scripts for container type billing.
• Financial Teams: Improved clarity on SharePoint resource costs.
• Security Teams: Enhanced auditability of resource provisioning.
• Compliance Teams: Better alignment with resource accountability policies.

The Action

1. Review existing PowerShell scripts that create SharePoint container types.
2. Update scripts to use 'New-SPOContainerType' for creation.
3. Implement 'Add-SPOContainerTypeBilling' for billing profile assignment.
4. Test updated scripts in a non-production environment.
5. Communicate changes to relevant administrative teams.
