REST API

Building Azure DevOps REST API extension

Quite recently I was facing an issue whereas a new service was introduced which needed deployment through Azure DevOps remotely. Normally spoken I would fallback in Windows Remote Management (WinRM) and use it in combination with the Invoke-Command cmdlet to create in conduction with the New-Service cmdlet. Unfortunately, WinRM was disallowed by the Network Security Groups (NSGs) on the Azure VMs. Luckily the RPC protocol was allowed, giving us the ability to use the native sc.exe command line tool.
