I'm trying to create a script to set / update appsettings in an Azure web app slot using powershell. Using the examples in Adding an App Settings to existing Azure Web Application using Azure Power Shell it works.
My problem is that I want "Slot setting" to be true. In all the examples I've found and in resources.azure.com, the settings are always name/value pairs, with no property to specify the value as "Slot setting".
Is this even possible to script?
Thanks.
Yes when using the Set-AzureWebsite command you can do
Set-AzureWebsite -SlotStickyAppSettingNames #("setting name")

I am testing the Azure data factory deployment using ARM Templates, where I am deploying the all the ADF Instances (Data factory pipeline, linked services, data sets, data flow, Trigger etc.) from Development to UAT and Production, but before deploying to UAT and production. I included below activity in Azure DevOps pipeline-
Stopping the ADF Trigger using 'Azure PowerShell' in built task of azure Devops release pipeline. In this task I am using the Inline script to stop trigger before deployment to UAT/PROD environment.
ARM Template deployment = using ARM Template I configured following value in it.
Template -> the ARM template of the pipeline ARMTemplateForFactory.json
Template Parameters -> the ARM \TemplateParametrsForFactory.json
Override template Parameter-> When I tried to enter the Values for UAT/Prod environment. some parameter are showing double.
Q-1. PFA, the details about each step and the logs. Please guide me why trigger not taking proper format. what could be the reason behind this? How should I correct this so that it can take trigger parameters only once.
Q-2. Also Please let me know Do I need Azure function app key for UAT/Prod environment to enter that value while override template parameter? Can someone please take a look and guide me what I am missing here?
Thanks
This question is answered in Microsoft Q&A platform. Thank you #sachingupta-1921 and #MartinJaffer-MSFT for the workable solution, posting it as an answer here to help the other community members.
A-1: Changing the name of the triggers without spaces resolved the problem mentioned in Q-1.
A-2: If you have different keys for dev / uat/ prod, then you would definitely need to include that.
Since you have a Key Vault, you could put the Function App key in there, and let it be taken care of by the change of key vaults. Then you would not need to enter the Function App key in the parameters.
I've got release pipelines defined that have worked. I've got a config transform that will write a API url to a config file (currently with a hardcoded api url).
What I'd like to do is be able to have the config be re-written based on the agent its being deployed on.
eg. if the machine being deployed to is TEST-1, I'd like to write https://TEST-1.somedomain.com/api into a config using that transform step.
The .somedomain.com/api can be static.
I've tried modifying the pipeline variable's value to be https://${{Environment.Name}}.somedomain.com/api, but it just replaces the API_URL in the config with that literal string (does not populate machine name in that variable).
Being that variables are the source of value that is being written to configs during the transform, I'm struggling to see another way to do this.
some gotchas
Using non yaml pipeline definitions (I know I saw people put logic in variable definitions within yaml pipelines)
Can't just use localhost, as the configuration is being read into a javascript rich app that would have js trying to connect to localhost vs trying to connect to the server.
I'm interested in any ways I could solve this problem
${{Environment.Name}} is not valid syntax for either YAML or classic pipelines.
In classic pipelines it would be $(Environment.Name).
In YAML, $(Environment.Name) or ${{ variables['Environment.Name'] }} would work.
I'm new to using Azure release pipelines and have been fighting issues trying to deploy a database project to a new Azure SQL database. Currently the pipeline is giving me the following error...
TargetConnectionString argument cannot be used in conjunction with any other Target database arguments
I've tried deploying with and without the TargetConnectionString included in my publish profile. Any suggestions or something else to try? I'm out of ideas.
TargetConnectionString
Specifies a valid SQL Server/Azure connection string to the target database. If this parameter is specified it shall be used exclusively of all other target parameters. (short form /tcs)
So please remove all other TargetXXX arguments.
(if you don't have them can you show what arguments you have inline and in publish profile - of course without data)
I'm using Azure DevOps to deploy an ASP.NET application to an IIS servers on-prem. The IIS servers are using a shared configuration so they need a custom Machine Key setup.
I can use XML transform to add add the machineKey entry in the Web.Config
<system.web>
<machineKey decryptionKey="{hex-key value}" validationKey="{hex-key value}"/>
</system.web>
but I don't want to have the actual keys in source control so I'll need to replace those values at deploy time. Substitution is easy enough for appsettings and connection strings but how can I substitute values in the System.Web section of the Web.Config?
How can I substitute values in the System.Web section of the
Web.Config?
What about consider to use one extension Replace token? For why I recommend it is because it can achieve the demand that it can only be replaced during the pipeline running.
Also, its usage is very convenient. Just need to specify the prefix and suffix in the task, and then make apply them in to your web.config file.
Then specify the corresponding variables with same name in Variables tab.
Only this, during the pipeline running, the task could find the corresponding token correctly and replace the value into it.
For detailed steps, you could refer to my previous answer for details: Use replace token task.
I have created a ASP.NET Core WebAPI and deployed in an Dev Environment (Kubernetes) using Azure Pipelines. How can I update the configuration in the pipeline if I need to publish the same API in another environment (eg. SIT). Since I have different settings/configuration for Dev and SIT environments.
Kindly guide me.
You can use release variables to do this. Feel free to reachout if you need any assistance.

The problem occurs when I want to deploy the same API to other
environments like QA/UAT/Prod. Since each environment is having
separate databases
For this issue , there are several ways to achieve this. You can add Replace Tokens extension to the job to replace the database connection string in appsettings.json.
You can define your variable like below:
{
"ConnectionStrings": {
"DefaultConnection": "#{connectstring}#"
}
}
You can refer to this case and lab for details.
