Scripting and Command Line Tools
Azure provides two command line tools – PowerShell and Cross-Platform CLI – for you to manage your Azure subscriptions, accelerate your development and automate tasks via scripting, no matter whether you are on Windows, Mac or Linux.
If you have any feedback on Azure PowerShell or Azure Cross-Platform CLI, we’d love to hear it.

Script an existing VM hosting SQL Server
I have a VM in Azure hosting SQL Server 2014. Can I script this set up? Would I be able to change the script to change the VM's name? Could I change the script to upgrader to SQL Server 2016?

CLI error messages refer to flattened json template inputs
Messages in templates provided to the CLI include the line and column number of the error, which is nice, except the line number is always "1" and the column number is usually in the thousands. Seems like the json template is being parsed into one long string first and then validation errors are being reporting on that.
It would be useful to get the actual line numbers reflecting the original input template file.

Please stop relying on QuickStart templates to demonstrate so much - they are mostly unusable for Production scenarios
When I search online for how to script resources in Azure using Powershell, I find way too many "QuickStart Templates" that are imported using the
New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeploymentcmdlet. This is not "using Powershell". These template inevitably have a kernel of what I need to do. But they are coded to a convoluted JSON structure that it is impossible to unpick and customize to an actual Production scenario.I actually believe that most of these examples are "export to script" output from the Portal and have not really be crafted to be useable by DevOps.
Please stop delivering examples using this technique:…

Find a way to silently install Azure point-to-site exe files for clients so an automated install can be done. boss wants NO user input
Find a way to silently install Azure point-to-site exe files for clients so an automated install can be done. boss wants NO user input, even if it just involves clicking YES. i for one have no mercy for spoonfeeding intelligent people who disregard emails or can mess up a double-click, but sadly this is the real world.

Attaching Azure Diagnostics using Powershell
The extension Id issue between production and staging.
Steps to replicate:
1. Deploy your sample application with worker role to Staging
2. Attach diagnostics to Staging
3. Promote/Swap application to Production
You will see that the extension also gets swapped to production (you can use Get-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension with ServiceName and Slot option to check that) .
4. Now if we do another deployment to Staging and try to add the diagnostics to Staging it gives an error saying Diagnostics for the extension id already exists. This is because when we swapped staging and production in step 3 the extension also got…1 vote -
update management
Azure Cli does not support Update Management. This is needed in order to automate more than just scheduled updates from the web portal.
We need the ability to create, edit and delete schedules + retrieve update deployment status for specific schedules + list of onboarded machines.

Allow a major version to be specified for Set-AzureVMChefExtension
Since Chef 12 is out, I've noticed the chef client software has been automatically upgraded to Chef 12. It would be useful to specify a Chef 11 or Chef 12 client on the command line to install the software that bests supports the Chef server one is running.

Document token timeout handling when using "Connect-AzureRmAccount -MSI"
When I log in with "Connect-AzureRmAccount -MSI", then loop forever calling AzureRM powershell commands from time to time, I eventually get a token expired exception. I've experimented with periodically logging off and logging on again, and using different "scope" values - but still eventually get the problem. After I get the token expired exception I can only get things going again by killing the script process and starting it again.
The documentation does not cover this at all as far as I can see. The Connect-AzureRmAccount documentation does not describe what is going on under the hood with tokens and…

Restoration of Databases from .bacpac file
There should such a runbook in azure which should be capable to restore a database from .bacpac file daily.
Suppose someone has automated the backup(.bacpac) of a certain production database and he/she wants to restore the Production database on UAT database daily at a certain time.
Runbook should also be capable to delete the UAT database and then restore with the same name.For example, database name is abc.UAT and it should be restored from abc.PROD database's .bacpac.
Since, the URL of .bacpac will change daily so this runbook should be capable to accomodate the daily chaning URL of .bacpac file.1 vote -
