I have an ASP.NET Core (RC1) app running on Azure App Service. The app takes its configuration from environment variables. I currently use the Azure Portal's 'Application Settings' page to set these environment variables. The app is deployed with Kudu (if this is relevant?)

I would like a way to programmatically set these environment variables so that I don't have to go through the Azure Portal every time I want to create a new environment variable or modify an existing environment variable. Ideally I would like to do this by calling a REST API. Is this possible, and if so, how?

Instead of setting environment variables in the Azure Portal, you could deploy an appsettings.json file along with your app with the desired settings. If you have a build server or deployment server, you could transform the config file with the correct settings for your environment.

If you i.e. are using Octopus Deploy for deployments, you could use the JSON Configuration variables feature to handle this.
