In this article, we will explore the usage of the Set-AzApplicationGatewayBackendHttpSettings cmdlet in PowerShell for managing backend HTTP settings in the Windows environment. This cmdlet is a part of the Azure PowerShell module and is used to configure settings for the back-end HTTP settings of an Azure Application Gateway. By understanding and utilizing this cmdlet, Windows users can easily manage and optimize the backend HTTP settings for their Azure resources.

Examples:

1. To begin, let's first install the Azure PowerShell module by running the following command in an elevated PowerShell session:

Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

2. Once the module is installed, we can use the Set-AzContext cmdlet to set the context to our Azure subscription:

Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId "<SubscriptionId>"

3. Now, let's retrieve the existing backend HTTP settings for an Application Gateway:

$backendHttpSettings = Get-AzApplicationGatewayBackendHttpSettings -Name "BackendHttpSettings" -ApplicationGatewayName "AppGateway"

4. We can then modify the properties of the backend HTTP settings using the Set-AzApplicationGatewayBackendHttpSettings cmdlet. For example, to change the port number, run the following command:

Set-AzApplicationGatewayBackendHttpSettings -Name "BackendHttpSettings" -ApplicationGatewayName "AppGateway" -Port 8080

5. Additionally, we can also update other properties such as the protocol, cookie-based affinity, request timeout, etc. For example, to enable cookie-based affinity, use the following command:

Set-AzApplicationGatewayBackendHttpSettings -Name "BackendHttpSettings" -ApplicationGatewayName "AppGateway" -CookieBasedAffinity Enabled

6. Finally, we can verify the changes by retrieving the updated backend HTTP settings:

$updatedBackendHttpSettings = Get-AzApplicationGatewayBackendHttpSettings -Name "BackendHttpSettings" -ApplicationGatewayName "AppGateway"
$updatedBackendHttpSettings | Select-Object -Property *
