Azure audit appservice check always on enabled remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration “Enable Always On for App Services” in Azure using Azure CLI, you can follow these steps:

Open the Azure CLI command prompt.
Run the following command to set the resource group where the App Service is deployed:

az configure --defaults group=<resource-group-name>

Run the following command to enable Always On for the App Service:

az webapp config set --always-on true --name <app-service-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name>

Verify that Always On is enabled for the App Service by running the following command:

az webapp config show --name <app-service-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --query alwaysOn

This command should return a value of “true”, indicating that Always On is enabled for the App Service.By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration “Enable Always On for App Services” in Azure using Azure CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration “Enable Always On For App Services” in Azure using Python, follow these steps:

Import the necessary libraries:

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.web import WebSiteManagementClient

Authenticate with Azure using the DefaultAzureCredential:

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

Instantiate a WebSiteManagementClient object:

subscription_id = '<your-subscription-id>'
resource_group_name = '<your-resource-group-name>'
webapp_name = '<your-webapp-name>'

client = WebSiteManagementClient(credential, subscription_id)

Get the current configuration of the web app:

webapp = client.web_apps.get(resource_group_name, webapp_name)

Check if Always On is enabled:

if webapp.always_on:
    print('Always On is already enabled.')
else:
    print('Always On is not enabled.')

If Always On is not enabled, update the configuration:

webapp.always_on = True
client.web_apps.create_or_update(resource_group_name, webapp_name, webapp)
print('Always On has been enabled.')

The complete code to remediate the misconfiguration “Enable Always On For App Services” in Azure using Python would look like this:

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.mgmt.web import WebSiteManagementClient

credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

subscription_id = '<your-subscription-id>'
resource_group_name = '<your-resource-group-name>'
webapp_name = '<your-webapp-name>'

client = WebSiteManagementClient(credential, subscription_id)

webapp = client.web_apps.get(resource_group_name, webapp_name)

if webapp.always_on:
    print('Always On is already enabled.')
else:
    webapp.always_on = True
    client.web_apps.create_or_update(resource_group_name, webapp_name, webapp)
    print('Always On has been enabled.')
