}
$json = $env | ConvertTo-Json

$env2 = @{

}
$json2 = $env2 | ConvertTo-Json

$website = Get-AzureWebsite -Name $websiteName
$username = $website.PublishingUsername
$password = $website.PublishingPassword
$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $username,$password)))
$apiBaseUrl = "https://$($website.Name).scm.azurewebsites.net/api"

[System.Uri]$Uri = $apiBaseUrl

$instances = Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName $resoureGroupName `
                                    -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/instances `
                                    -ResourceName $websiteName `

foreach($instance in $instances)
{
    $instanceName = $instance.Name
    Write-Host "`tVM Instance ID `t`t: " $instanceName

    #Now execute 'SET COMPUTER' cmd
    $cookie= New-Object System.Net.Cookie
    $cookie.Name = "ARRAffinity"
    $cookie.Value = $instanceName
    $Cookie.Domain = $uri.DnsSafeHost
    $session=New-Object Microsoft.Powershell.Commands.WebRequestSession
    $session.Cookies.add($cookie)

    $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$apiBaseUrl/command" `
                                    -Headers @{Authorization=("Basic {0}" `
                                    -f $base64AuthInfo)} `
