We can setup deployment from source control using the New-AzureWebsite commandlet. How can we do the same to existing websites?
Ideally, I am looking for is a commandlet like this:
Set-AzureWebsite <websiteName> -GitHub -GitHubRepository <repoName>
There doesn't appear to be such a commandlet. Is there a way to do this with Azure PowerShell? I supposed I could just delete and recreate the site.
You can use the New-AzureWebsite to update the deployment from source control for existing sites.

I need to change the Azure DSC configuration that has been previously assigned to a VM.
I'm trying to do this programatically because it's part of an automation I'm developing and because of this, I'm using ARM Templates.
However, redeploying the same VM DSC extension by ARM Template results in an error stating a VM can't have two of the same extensions, which sounds logical.
What I want to know if it's possible to, by ARM Template, "update" or "modify" the current extension with just one setting changed: The configuration name.
Is this possible?
Sure - you can update the existing VM extension by providing new configuration in your ARM template. As you have found out, you cannot use a different name for the extension - that would result in two VM extensions of the same type on the VM. Instead, you need to reuse the same name of the existing VM extension when performing the update.
I have created a Function App for Containers using ARM template deployment using Azure DevOps Pipeline job (Azure Resource Group Deployment).
After deployment added additional configurations other than default configurations for Function App through portal.
For adding new resources, I have updated my 'template.json' and redeployed again. But this removes all my manual configuration of the existing Function App and set it to the default config settings in the template file. :( . Anyone please tell me a way for sort this problem.
Is there any property that helps to retain the resources and its configuration unchanged while deployment using ARM ? I used the property
"mode":
"Incremental" .
But this didn't work for me. It removes the existing configurations that I have created manually. Please suggest a best way to deploy and manage a resource using ARM. Is there any property or 'key : value' for adding additional settings to site config other than remove the site config and recreate it as inside the template default.
I think your only option is to set those configurations into the ARM template. ARM templates are not always incremental but are some time declarative as in this case.
You can switch to bicep, which has the ability to merge app settings. However, I don't have the details at the moment.
bicep wouldn't be a valid path to take. Except you can generate bicep from your source arm templates if they are 2019 or newer. That way the arm temples still drives the pipeline.
I wonder if terraform has the same options?
I have been given the responsibility for managing an Azure application gateway. The gateway is complex with 16 sites each with different SSL certificates, httplisteners, etc. The previous admin kept NO documentation. The short question is there a way I can use powershell to query and parse the existing configuration to a new script that I could use to rebuild the gateway if something breaks? I dont want to be messing with json and would prefer using powershell cmdlets, (Get-AzureRmApplicationGateway..., Set-AzureRmApplicationGateway, etc).
Any sample scripts would be great.
To load the whole gateway configuration via Powershell use:
Get-AzureRmApplicationGateway -Name MyAppGw -ResourceGroupName MyAppGwRG
Source
You can also edit this XML template file to record all the app gateway settings.
I create a new ARM template using VS2017 and would like to add Azure Automation resource as part of my template. When I right click and select add New Resource I do not see Azure Automation. How do I go about doing this
Best way to do this - go to the documentation and copy\paste it.

I'm trying to create an Azure VM and then copy an install file to the VM and then silently installing it. I have created a basic Azure Resource Group project, and can create and deploy the VM, but I can't figure out how to do everything from the powershell script.
It sounds like you could use a custom script extension to do what you want. In your ARM template, you can specify the url for a file and the command to run; Azure will handle getting the file onto your VM and running it based on your command. Here is an example from the Azure Quickstart Templates: https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/windows-vm-custom-script
Hope this helps! :)
