We are deploying a lot of Appservices in Azure trough Azure Devops in different pipelines. For each Appservice we deploy a West and a North Europe instance. We would like to add them automatically to Azure Fontdoor (with ARM template) with a frontend domain. We have ARM templates in place (the default one from Microsoft) but the template is not incremental. So when we add one the allready configured ones dissapear.
Any idea how we can add Appservices one by one to Frontdoor without having the full list off appservices available?
You could try to use the ARM template deployment task. This task supports incremental deployment of app service.
I use the azuredeploy.parameters.json file to input the parameters.
Here is the example:
Then I use this file in the ARM template deployment task and select the incremental option.
For the first time, you can directly use the parameters in the file.
For the next time, you could add custom parameters to the Override template parameters field.
Result:
App service will not be overwritten.
Hope this helps.

I am stuck with an issue where I want to deploy an Azure function and the code with Azure Resource Group but it seems this isn't supported? I followed the steps here and edited it to include an Azure Function project instead of the web app

We are wanting to list an app in the market place that will deploy an Azure function into the customer's environment (and not our own) - hence assuming this needs to be a 'managed app' and needs the ARM/ARG template
ARM can only be used to define the structure, but the deployment part still needs to use other methods.
Have a look of this doc:

I am new to Azure as well as Devops, ARM template etc..I have deployed an ARM template for key valut with a name "ABC" via DevOPs. Now I would like to change some parameters. I don't have access to do it via portal and I am forced to use only ARM template. How can this be achieved via devops? Should I delete that resource and start from the scratch or any SOP to update resource parameters via ARM templates. For example I want to enable "“enabledForDeployment” for already deployed kay-vault. Thanks.
generally speaking you just re-run the same template with the changes you've introduced to the template. there are many ways of deploying the template (az cli, powershell, built-in steps, various sdk's).
just keep in mind, some properties are settable only at creation time, so effectively read only, you wouldn't be able to update those after the resource is created, some resource providers do not play well with idempotent behavior and this will also lead to issues when you try to redeploy the same template, some providers offer dodgy behavior when you need to use a completely different api call to update something compared to creating it.
So there's no single answer, but for what you are doing, just updating the template and running it again should work just fine.
You can do it through PowerShell,

I have a Linux Container-Based function app that I am deploying from an ARM template, I have found that I can enable "Continuous Deployment" via the Portal (screenshot below), but can't automate it with an ARM Template.
It would be really nice if we could automatically enable Continuous Deployment via the ARM template (or perhaps even enable it by default). Is there any way to do this?
I think you're right. It's not a property for Azure Web App, it's a trigger for the action event of the image registry. From the creation steps, you can find the webhook is created in the ACR or Docker hub which the web image in. The continuous deployment just provides a URL for the webhook. So you cannot set the Continuous Deployment in the ARM template in Azure.
I am working on Azure ARM templates. I created the ARM templates for azure web app and azure SQL database, for that I configured the Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment successfully without any issues.
After one month, I added the one more application settings for web app and added the new firewall rule for azure SQL database and check in the code into VSTS it’ automatically triggered the build and then release.
After every release the ARM template code deployed into azure resources. So, that’s why azure resources recreated once again. But I want to deploy only the changes of ARM template of azure web app and SQL database etc….
I have few doubts in this
I created the azure resources using ARM templates through the CI & CD process from VSTS. After that I deployed the application code into azure web app, after few days I added the some code in web app ARM template and deployed it into azure. After redeployed the ARM templates once again then the application code is also gone. For that what can I follow the better approach?
How to deploy the specific changes of ARM templates code in to azure, once I deployed the primary ARM template first.
You need to make sure the code is also being deployed with the ARM Template, because it adjusts the configuration to what is defined in the template. whats why you see such a behavior.
Just edit the template and redeploy into the same resource group. that's what they are for.
I'm creating resources on Azure using an ARM template. I have three web apps to deploy. Normally i can deploy them separately using VSTS which is slow. So is there a way to deploy a project on VSTS using an ARM template?
You can deploy a template that uses web deploy to also deploy a web app - you can deploy to slots or deploy to an existing web app (not defined in your ARM template). This sample has an MSDeploy extension that does the work.
https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/201-web-app-blob-connection
You can also go this route:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-dotnet-get-started/
Both can be done via VSTS...
You would need to export ARM template from your azure RM portal.
Make sure
you have single resource group where all these apps have been deployed (since you want to deploy them together).
Export the resource management template and attach to your VSTS project as resource.
Add a new release task in your VSTS as Azure Resource Group Deployment.
Add connection details to your resource group.
Specify the previously exported template
Configure the parameters (or use variables).
you should be able to use VSTS build and release management to deploy ARM resources.
