I'm currently using Azure's Application Gateway with a backend pool utilising Azure's App Service. When the application gateway forwards your request to the backpool, it also forwards X-Original-Host HTTP Header together with it to help you identity which listener the gateway originally acted upon but what if you wanted it to match the HOST header at the web server (app service)? This might be useful for cases where you need to generate absolute URLs in your web app for whatever ...

Recently I've been trying to scale my Azure SQL database up from a low pricing tier to a higher pricing tier. It seems like the process can take between minutes to hours. I wanted a way of measure how long this would take and while using the Measure-Command commandlet was useful in showing the duration, it didn't show the time it was executed from start to finish. While the duration was helpful, it didn't really reflect the true amount of ...
Recently I've setup active geo-replication for my database hosted on Azure which basically allows you to asynchronously replicate transactions held on a primary database to a secondary database (usually located in a different geographical region) which is set to read only. The problem was, in a failover/disaster recovery situation, for the secondary to be usable, I would have to manually add all the existing firewall rules on the primary to the secondary which may be updated from time to ...
Two ways to run Powershell Scripts on Azure are on the Azure Automation and Azure Functions platforms. While Microsoft has provided a nice article about the comparisons between Azure Flow, Logic Apps, Functions, and WebJobs, there hasn't been a comparison between Azure Automation and Azure Functions. @johnliu took some notes at MSAUIgnite and posted it on Github which I thought I would share here as well. ...
I've currently got about 40-50 apps running on Azure's App service offering being deploying using Azure ARM deployment templates. Each app contains AppSettings. There were times when I've noticed that some apps don't get all the AppSettings defined in the ARM template so I wrote a script to print and export the list of appsettings for each of my 40-50 apps for sanity checking. $allWebApps = Get-AzureRmWebApp #$allWebApps = $allWebApps | Where-Object {$_.ResourceGroup -eq 'nameOfresourceGroup'} $resourceGroups = $allWebApps | Select-Object 'ResourceGroup' -Unique $outItems = New-Object System. ...

To have New Relic working for a .NET app hosted on Azure's App Services, I needed New Relic's .NET agent installed in 1 of 3 ways. Manual installation via NuGet Extension installation via the SCM website Extension installation via the Azure Portal Initially I had it installed via the Azure Portal (method 3), which seemed fine but to give us better flexibility in having a "clean" deployment by setting the <SkipExtraFilesOnServer>True</SkipExtraFilesOnServer> flag ...
