A collection of powershell scripts to perform basic to advanced Azure based Sitecore devops

Sitecore Advanced Azure Devops

Expanding Sitecore on azure with flexible and generic scripts.

NOTE: All these scripts require a valid powershell Azure session to be connected and available

General Support Scripts

Kudu Utility

Found here

A set of powershell functions to facilitate communication with App Services. This forms the backbone of all the Azure App Service interactions that are required for these devops strategies.

Script Retrying

Found here

Azure has transient errors that simply need to be retried, this accomplishes giving things a few tries with custom failure validation for those cases where the script doesn't actually fail despite the reports from Azure. A well set up execution of this strategy should give our scripts the best chance to succeed given the random instability of Azure in general.
