# Install Azure PowerShell module
Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser
# Log in to Azure
Connect-AzAccount
# Create Resource Group
$resourceGroupName = "YourResourceGroupName"
$location = "YourPreferredLocation"
New-AzResourceGroup -Name $resourceGroupName -Location $location
# Create CDN profile
$cdnProfileName = "YourCDNProfileName"
$sku = "Standard_Microsoft"
New-AzCdnProfile -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $cdnProfileName -Sku $sku -Location $location
# Create CDN endpoint
$cdnEndpointName = "YourCDNEndpointName"
$originHostName = "YourWebApp.azurewebsites.net"

@Sedat SALMAN , Hi SALMAN, Thank you for your answer. I have a requirement for Serverless backup solution of various resources and services including CDN and Front Door profiles on Azure which we are looking into the azure portal backup service in itself. We do want achieve this by powershell or azure-cli installed on local system powershell. Also if we can get some code to achieve this, we can build on this, it will be very much helpful. What I am talking is that we can do powershell scripting for backups for various resources and services on azure. This is actual requirement for us. I hope I will get some answers on this. Thanks again for answering my questions.

it does not natively support backing up CDN or Front Door configurations directly. Instead, you can use Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI to export the configurations of these services and store them as JSON files in a storage account or any other backup location

example export powershell

# Log in to Azure
Connect-AzAccount

# Resource Group Name
$resourceGroupName = "YourResourceGroupName"

# Export CDN profile configuration
$cdnProfileName = "YourCDNProfileName"
$cdnProfile = Get-AzCdnProfile -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -ProfileName $cdnProfileName
$cdnProfileJson = $cdnProfile | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
Set-Content -Path "CDNProfileConfig.json" -Value $cdnProfileJson

# Export Front Door configuration
$frontDoorName = "YourFrontDoorName"
$frontDoor = Get-AzFrontDoor -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $frontDoorName
$frontDoorJson = $frontDoor | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
Set-Content -Path "FrontDoorConfig.json" -Value $frontDoorJson

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you would like to know how to manage Azure CDN and AFD using Powershell.

Find the "How-to" of all the configurations for CDN below

Manage Azure CDN with PowerShell
This contains commands for Listing, Creating, Adding a custom domain, Purging, Starting, Stopping, Deleting etc.

For AFD,

1.Premium/Standard

Create an Azure Front Door Standard/Premium
Other Powershell commands : Az.CDN Module

2.Classic

Create a Classic Front Door
Other Powershell commands : Az.FrontDoor Module

Kindly let us know if this helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Thanks,

Kapil

Dear @KapilAnanth ,

I got this answer from you. But, myrequirement is different. I need to handle CDN and AFD profiles backups using powershell more or less serverless. I do not want to go through Azure Portal except for creating the resources for this kind of profiles. If you have any samples for this approach please help me out. I have explored powershell but I could not find any real good code for this. I would like to either do it from powershell or azure cli installed on powershell. I hope this will clarify my requirement. Thanks well in advance.

regards,

Harish.

You can install CLI or PS in your local machine.

Refer :

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/install-az-ps?view=azps-9.5.0#offline-installation

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli

From your comments on Sedat SALMAN's answer, I see you are looking for a way to get the configuration of AFD/CDN.

Also I can see that Sedat has provided a script for the same.

Thanks,

Kapil
