Difference between Azure cmdlets - New-WAPackWebsite and New-AzureWebsite


What is the difference between Azure Cmdlets - New-WAPackWebsite and New-AzureWebsite?

Are they both aliases for the same to Create a new AzureWebsite?

In the same way I was able to see lot of other commands with WAPackWebsite (find below). Are they also the same aliases for AzureWebsite cmdlets?

Disable-WAPackWebsiteApplicationDiagnostic
Enable-WAPackWebsiteApplicationDiagnositc
Get-WAPackWebsite
Get-WAPackWebsiteDeployment
Get-WAPackWebsiteLocation
Get-WAPackWebsiteLog
New-WAPackWebsite
Remove-WAPackWebsite
Restart-WAPackWebsite
Restore-WAPackWebsiteDeployment
Save-WAPackWebsiteLog
Set-WAPackWebsite
Show-WAPackWebsite
Start-WAPackWebsite
Stop-WAPackWebsite


Solution

  • The WA prefixed commands are used on the Azure Pack which is an on-premise product which allows some of the services that run on Azure to be run on an on-premise datacenter/setup. You can ignore those as they are not relevant in your situation.
