Azure Stuff

• Start-Stop workflow I made because Azure was too slow stopping and starting VMs in the morning. This makes a parallel startup of VMs possible.
• Formatdisk.ps1 I made to format a disk from an ARM template
• New-ContributorSP.ps1 is a script to create a service principal and giving it contributor rights.

#small blurb to easily create something that creates a service principal, should be reworked..
New-ContributorSP -appDisplayName test1 -appPassword supersecurepassword

• Get-ASRDetails.ps1 is a script that makes an API call to Azure to retrieve all Azure Site Recovery details (much more than regular PowerShell modules give).

#Get all vaults, collect them all in a single variable, then see all VMs, RPO times, and whether the mobility agent needs updating.

$vaults = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVault

foreach ($vault in $vaults){
    $ASRDetails = Get-ASRDetails -ResourceGroup $($vault.ResourceGroupName) -RecoveryVaultname $($vault.Name)
    $AllASR += $ASRDetails
}

$AllASR | select @{Name = 'Name'; Expression = {$($_.properties.friendlyname)}},
@{Name = 'rpoInSeconds'; Expression = {$($_.properties.providerSpecificDetails.rpoInSeconds)}},
@{Name = 'ReplicationAgentUpdateRequired'; Expression = {$($_.properties.providerSpecificDetails.isReplicationAgentUpdateRequired)}},
@{Name = 'AgentCertificateUpdateRequired'; Expression = {$($_.properties.providerSpecificDetails.isReplicationAgentCertificateUpdateRequired)}}

There's actually much more you can retrieve (basically anything ASR related), but this is an example..

• NewSwapSlotRole.ps1

#function to create a custom role that adds https://blog.chudinov.net/permissions-for-deployment-to-azure-web-app-slots/..
New-NewSwapSlotRole -subscriptionId abc-123
