Scale Azure Service Bus through Powershell or API

Question

I want to create a new Serviec Bus on Azure and then scale it up by using automation script.

Right now I can create the service bus successfully by powershell cmdlet New-AzureSBNamespace -Name $Namespace -Location $Location -CreateACSNamespace $CreateACSNamespace -NamespaceType Messaging But I can't find any cmdlet or azure management API to scale its capacity.

After installing WindowsAzure.ServiceBus via nuget I found this class

new Microsoft.ServiceBus.Management.MessagingSKUPlan(){SKU=2, SelectedEventHubUnit = 20 }; But I don't know how to use it to scale the service bus

I've found an end point https://manage.windowsazure.com/ServiceBus/UpdateMessagingSKUPlan that used by http://manage.windowsazure.net to scale the service bus, but it's using http cookie for authentication which is hard to implement from Powershell normal authentication that using MS certificate. Scale Service Bus from Azure Management Portal

My question is is there any way to scale the azure service bus from Powershell or an api? If not, is there any idea how to call https://manage.windowsazure.com/ServiceBus/UpdateMessagingSKUPlan api from my automation script?

ThroughPut units is a Namespace level setting and will require a REST API call to the Azure Management endpoint. This requires two steps:

First do a GET on NS to get the existing NamespaceSKUPlan Request Uri format: https://management.core.windows.net/<subscriptipn id>/services/ServiceBus/Namespaces/<namespaceName>/MessagingPlan
Then perform a rest PUT operation on the same Uri stuffing in this properties: <NamespaceSKUPlan xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/netservices/2010/10/servicebus/connect" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SKU>{1 or 2}</SKU> <SelectedEventHubUnit>{1 - 20}</SelectedEventHubUnit> <Revision>{value from previous GET}</Revision> </NamespaceSKUPlan>
