Manage App Service, SQL Database, and more - Azure Management Libraries for .NET - Azure のブログ

One C# statement to create a Web App. One statement to create a SQL Server and another statement to create a SQL Database. One statement to create an Application Gateway, etc.

Beta 4 of the Azure Management Libraries for .NET is now available. Beta 4 adds support for the following Azure services and features:

✓ App Service (Web Apps)	✓ SQL Database	✓ Application Gateway
✓ Traffic Manager	✓ DNS	✓ CDN
✓ Redis Cache

You can download Beta 4 from:

Last year, we announced a preview of the new, simplified Azure management libraries for .NET. Our goal is to improve the developer experience by providing a higher-level, object-oriented API, optimized for readability and writability. These libraries are built on the lower-level, request-response style auto generated clients and can run side-by-side with auto generated clients. Thank you for trying the libraries and providing us with plenty of useful feedback.

Create a Web App

You can create a Web app instance by using a define() … create() method chain.

var webApp = azure.WebApps()
    .Define(appName)
    .WithNewResourceGroup(rgName)
    .WithNewAppServicePlan(planName)
    .WithRegion(Region.US_WEST)
    .WithPricingTier(AppServicePricingTier.STANDARD_S1)
    .Create();

Create a SQL Database

You can create a SQL server instance by using another define() … create() method chain.

var sqlServer = azure.SqlServers.Define(sqlServerName)
    .WithRegion(Region.US_EAST)
    .WithNewResourceGroup(rgName)
    .WithAdministratorLogin(administratorLogin)
    .WithAdministratorPassword(administratorPassword)
    .WithNewFirewallRule(firewallRuleIpAddress)
    .WithNewFirewallRule(firewallRuleStartIpAddress, firewallRuleEndIpAddress)
    .Create();

Then, you can create a SQL database instance by using another define() … create() method chain.

var database = sqlServer.Databases.Define(databaseName)
    .Create();

Create an Application Gateway

You can create an application gateway instance by using another define() … create() method chain.

var applicationGateway = azure.ApplicationGateways().Define("myFirstAppGateway")
    .WithRegion(Region.US_EAST)
    .WithExistingResourceGroup(resourceGroup)
    // Request routing rule for HTTP from public 80 to public 8080
    .DefineRequestRoutingRule("HTTP-80-to-8080")
        .FromPublicFrontend()
        .FromFrontendHttpPort(80)
        .ToBackendHttpPort(8080)
        .ToBackendIpAddress("11.1.1.1")
        .ToBackendIpAddress("11.1.1.2")
        .ToBackendIpAddress("11.1.1.3")
        .ToBackendIpAddress("11.1.1.4")
        .Attach()
    .WithExistingPublicIpAddress(publicIpAddress)
    .Create();

Sample code

You can find plenty of sample code that illustrates management scenarios in Azure Virtual Machines, Virtual Machine Scale Sets, Storage, Networking, Resource Manager, SQL Database, App Service (Web Apps), Key Vault, Redis, CDN and Batch.

Service	Management Scenario
Virtual Machines	Manage virtual machine Manage availability set List virtual machine images Manage virtual machines using VM extensions Create virtual machines from generalized image or specialized VHD List virtual machine extension images
Virtual Machines – parallel execution	Create multiple virtual machines in parallel Create multiple virtual machines with network in parallel Create multiple virtual machines across regions in parallel
Virtual Machine Scale Sets	Manage virtual machine scale sets (behind an Internet facing load balancer)
Storage	Manage storage accounts
Networking	Manage virtual network Manage network interface Manage network security group Manage IP address Manage Internet facing load balancers Manage internal load balancers
Networking – DNS	Host and manage domains
Traffic Manager	Manage traffic manager profiles
Application Gateway	Manage application gateways Manage application gateways with backend pools
SQL Database	Manage SQL databases Manage SQL databases in elastic pools Manage firewalls for SQL databases Manage SQL databases across regions
Redis Cache	Manage Redis Cache
App Service – Web Apps	Manage Web apps Manage Web apps with custom domains Configure deployment sources for Web apps Manage staging and production slots for Web apps Scale Web apps Manage storage connections for Web apps Manage data connections (such as SQL database and Redis cache) for Web apps
Resource Groups	Manage resource groups Manage resources Deploy resources with ARM templates Deploy resources with ARM templates (with progress)
Key Vault	Manage key vaults
CDN	Manage CDNs
Batch	Manage batch accounts

Give it a try

You can run the samples above or go straight to our GitHub repo. Give it a try and let us know what do you think (via e-mail or comments below), particularly –

Usability and effectiveness of the new management libraries for .NET.
What Azure services you would like to see supported soon?
What additional scenarios should be illustrated as sample code?

Over the next few weeks, we will be adding support for more Azure services and applying finishing touches to the API.
