Hi Azure friends,
Start the CloudShell in the Azure portal or go to the following URL: https://shell.azure.com/
Please start with the following steps to begin the deployment (the Hashtags are comments):
#Here you can find out which subscription you are working with
az account show
#View all subscriptions
az account list --all --output table
#change the subscription (if necessary)
az account set --subscription "Name of the Subscription"
#Create a resource group
az group create --name myResourceGroup --location westeurope
#Create a Traffic Manager profile
az network traffic-manager profile create --name twtmpcloud2020 --resource-group myResourceGroup --routing-method Priority --path "/" --protocol HTTP --unique-dns-name twtmpcloud2020 --ttl 30 --port 80
#Create web app service plans
az appservice plan create --name twwebappeastus --resource-group myResourceGroup --location eastus --sku S1
az appservice plan create --name twwebappwesteurope --resource-group myResourceGroup --location westeurope --sku S1
#Create a web app in the app service plan
az webapp create --name twapp1eastus --plan twwebappeastus --resource-group myResourceGroup
az webapp create --name twapp2westeurope --plan twwebappwesteurope --resource-group myResourceGroup
#Add Traffic Manager endpoints (East US endpoint)
az webapp show --name twapp1eastus --resource-group myResourceGroup --query id
#Make note of ID displayed
az network traffic-manager endpoint create --name twapp1eastus --resource-group myResourceGroup --profile-name twtmpcloud2020 --type azureEndpoints --target-resource-id <ID from az webapp show> --priority 1 --endpoint-status Enabled
#Add Traffic Manager endpoints (West Europe endpoint)
az webapp show --name twapp2westeurope --resource-group myResourceGroup --query id
#Make note of ID displayed
az network traffic-manager endpoint create --name twapp2westeurope --resource-group myResourceGroup --profile-name twtmpcloud2020 --type azureEndpoints --target-resource-id <ID from az webapp show> --priority 2 --endpoint-status Enabled
#Test your Traffic Manager profile (Determine the DNS name)
az network traffic-manager profile show --name twtmpcloud2020 --resource-group myResourceGroup --query dnsConfig.fqdn
#In the Portal modify the text in one azure app
#Copy the DNS name of your Traffic Manager profile (http://<relativednsname>.trafficmanager.net) to view the website in a new web browser session
#To view Traffic Manager failover in action
az network traffic-manager endpoint update --name twapp1eastus --resource-group myResourceGroup --profile-name twtmpcloud2020 --type azureEndpoints --endpoint-status Disabled
#Copy the DNS name of your Traffic Manager profile (http://<relativednsname>.trafficmanager.net) to view the website in a new web browser session
Now you have configured a Traffic Manager Profile, two App Service Plans and WebApp's with the Azure CLI! Congratulations! If you don't need the resource group (also to save costs) don't forget the clean up.
#Clean Up (if necessary)
az group delete --resource-group myResourceGroup --yes
I hope this article was useful. Best regards, Tom Wechsler
P.S. All scripts (#PowerShell, @azure CLI, #Terraform, #ARM) that I use can be found on github! https://github.com/tomwechsler
