Title basically says it all. I have a function app on a consumption plan that I need to put onto a P2V2. Is it possible to convert the consumption plan or do I need to just redeploy to a new resource group?
Try this:
Create new AppService plan
Open CloudShell (PowerShell)
Run commands
Select-AzureRmSubscription -SubscriptionId "[id]"
Set-AzureRmWebApp -Name "[function name]" -ResourceGroupName "[resource group]" -AppServicePlan "[new app service plan name]"
source: https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Functions/issues/155#issuecomment-619980271
To do vice-versa, move functions from App Service plan to a Consumption Plan, Use the Azure Resource Explorer:
Source: https://www.gitmemory.com/issue/Azure/Azure-Functions/155/747559677
I was able to move back my Function from App Service Plan to Consumption plan by using the https://resources.azure.com/ website.
Enter edit mode, find your Function App and change the following:
{
serverFarmId: "..../<your-consumption-app-service-name>"
...
// Scroll a bit down
sku: "Dynamic"
}
Update the resource and you are done.
Make sure that you turn Always On off in the App Service Plan settings before the resource update to make this work.
Great question MrRobot. Unfortunately, there is no official way to move your consumption based Function App into a dedicated App Service Plan (Basic, Standard, P2v2, etc.). You will have to redeploy your settings into a new Function App that was created using the dedicated hardware.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Edit: To add additional clarity, I'd suggest looking at this for information on how to easily copy your Function App.
Also, switching is available to some customers but the number of customer is so small due to the requirement that your app was deployed to a web space that supports P2v2, which again is a small group. For an example on switching, check here. If you're unable to create a P2v2 Function App in the resource group of your consumption based Function App, you are not likely eligible to use this solution and would need to manually deploy to a dedicated function app.

We were experiencing timeouts the first time a function from a Function App was being called so we move from a normal to premium service plan as in theory you can have always a warmed instance ready to answer a call (based on this documentation).
The thing is that when trying to configure the functionality we cannot see the setting present in the documentation. This is our portal:
And this is the portal settings appearing in the documentation:
The functions are still timing out the first time they are called so we did not see any difference moving from a normal plan to the premium one. Are we missing something?
Didn't reproduce your problem, I can set the pre-warmed instances on my portal. But I have an idea to solve this problem.
Try to use powshell in Azure Cloud Shell to configure the pre-warmed instances of your function app instead of using portal:
az resource update -g <resource_group> -n <function_app_name>/config/web --set properties.preWarmedInstanceCount=<desired_prewarmed_count> --resource-type Microsoft.Web/sites
Test whether it can be setted. If can't, have a look of the error. This may be an error with the portal.
If you have doubts, please let me know.
Turns out that you need to modify the Function App settings while we were tweaking the Service Plan.
We have there the warmed instances setting but it is not having the expected result, we are still facing the timeouts we had with the normal Service Plan.
I have an Azure App Service Plan and a Web App. I want to move them to another subscription. There is a limitation that app service plan and app service must be moved together from the origin resource group of the app service plan. Someone had moved the resources from their origin resource group and deleted the resource group. Now, how can I find the name of the origin resource group ?
In some cases it can be found in the WebSpace property of app service plan. For example [ "webSpace": "RG-SK-MarkIII-CentralUSwebspace" ], RG-SK-MarkIII is the origin resource group of the app plan. But in my case the webSpace is like this ["webSpace": "AustraliaEastwebspace" ]. Is there any other way to find it through CloudShell ?
You can look up the actions taken by a particular user, even for a resource group that no longer exists.
az monitor activity-log list -g ExampleGroup --caller someone#contoso.com --offset 5d
Kindly try these steps:
If you don't remember the original resource group, you can find it through diagnostics.
For your web app, select Diagnose and solve problems.
Then, select Configuration and Management.
Select Migration Options.
Select the option for recommended steps to move the web app.
You see the recommended actions to take before moving the resources. The information includes the original resource group for the web app.
- I understand you're referring to RG deletion scenario, kindly try this and let me know how it goes.
Reference document move across subscription.
Furthermore, you can only change to a plan that was created in the same "webspace" as your original app. Webspace is an internal concept that's not exposed, but you can verify whether your source and destination plans are in the same webspace or not.
To verify, do the following:
https://resources.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/{serverFarmName}
Confirm whether the webSpace property of your source plan matches the webSpace property of your new plan
I'm trying to build a small program to change the autoscale settings for our Azure WebApps, using the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.Monitoring and Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Management.WebSites NuGet packages.
I have been roughly following the guide here.
However, we are interested in scaling WebApps / App Services rather than Cloud Services, so I am trying to use the same code to read the autoscale settings but providing a resource ID for our WebApp. I have already got the credentials required for making a connection (using a browser window popup for Active Directory authentication, but I understand we can use X.509 management certificates for non-interactive programs).
This is the request I'm trying to make. Credentials already established, and an exception is thrown earlier if they're not valid.
AutoscaleClient autoscaleClient = new AutoscaleClient(credentials);
var resourceId = AutoscaleResourceIdBuilder.BuildWebSiteResourceId(webspaceName: WebSpaceNames.NorthEuropeWebSpace, serverFarmName: "Default2");
AutoscaleSettingGetResponse get = autoscaleClient.Settings.Get(resourceId); // exception here
The WebApp (let's call it "MyWebApp") is part of an App Service Plan called "Default2" (Standard: 1 small), in a Resource Group called "WebDevResources", in the North Europe region. I expect that my problem is that I am using the wrong names to build the resourceId in the code - the naming conventions in the library don't map well onto what I can see in the Azure Portal.
I'm assuming that BuildWebSiteResourceId is the correct method to call, see MSDN documentation here.
However the two parameters it takes are webspaceName and serverFarmName, neither of which match anything in the Azure portal (or Google). I found another example which seemed to be using the WebApp's geo region for webSpaceName, so I've used the predefined value for North Europe where our app is hosted.
While trying to find the correct value for serverFarmName in the Azure Portal, I found the Resource ID for the App Service Plan, which looks like this:
/subscriptions/{subscription-guid}/resourceGroups/WebDevResources/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/Default2
That resource ID isn't valid for the call I'm trying to make, but it does support the idea that a 'serverfarm' is the same as an App Service Plan.
When I run the code, regardless of whether the resourceId parameters seem to be correct or garbage, I get this error response:
<string xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">
{"Code":"SettingNotFound","Message":"Could not find the autoscale settings."}
</string>
So, how can I construct the correct resource ID for my WebApp or App Service Plan? Or alternatively, is there a different tree I should be barking up to programatially manage WebApp scaling?
Update:
The solution below got the info I wanted. I also found the Azure resource explorer at resources.azure.com extremely useful to browse existing resources and find the correct names. For example, the name for my autoscale settings is actually "Default2-WebDevResources", i.e. "{AppServicePlan}-{ResourceGroup}" which I wouldn't have expected.
There is a preview service https://resources.azure.com/ where you can inspect all your resources easily. If you search for autoscale in the UI you will easily find the settings for your resource. It will also show you how to call the relevant REST Api endpoint to read or update that resorce.
It's a great tool for revealing a lot of details for your deployed resources and it will actually give you an ARM template stub for the resource you are looking at.
And to answer your question, you could programmatically call the REST API from a client with updated settings for autoscale. The REST API is one way of doing this, the SDK another and PowerShell a third.
The guide which you're following is based on the Azure Service Management model, aka Classic mode, which is deprecated and only exists mainly for backward compatibility support.
You should use the latest
Microsoft.Azure.Insights nuget package for getting the autoscale settings.
Sample code using the nuget above is as below:
using Microsoft.Azure.Management.Insights;
using Microsoft.Rest;
//... Get necessary values for the required parameters
var client = new InsightsManagementClient(new TokenCredentials(token));
client.AutoscaleSettings.Get(resourceGroupName, autoScaleSettingName);
Besides, the autoscalesettings is a resource under the "Microsoft.Insights" provider and not under the "Microsoft.Web" provider, which explains why you are not able to find it with your serverfarm resourceId.
See the REST API Reference below for getting the autoscale settings.
GET
https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/{resource-group-name}/providers/microsoft.insights/autoscaleSettings/{autoscale-setting-name}?api-version={api-version}
I have created one Azure Function App in an existing Azure Resource Group. While creating a Function App, by mistake I didn't notice the selected region, and it got created in "South Central US" region. After a significant development, I realized this mistake, and now want to move it to "West Europe" region, so it gets aligned with rest of my resources.
Any idea of how I can move a resource from one region to other region, without deleting and recreating?
There is still no way to change your deployment from one region to the other. You'll have to create another Azure Function in that correct region and redeploy your application.
Troy Hunt outlines his journey with an Azure Website here but the same steps still apply.
still, I don't see any new option (We can move resources from one resource group/ subscription level).
I think as of now 3 options available
Create a resource in the new region then delete existing resource.
Deploy new resource with the same configuration using PowerShell/CLI.
Deploy through portal (Export Template > Deploy > Select New region > change parameters then Purchase) similar to option 2, but you don't need to write any script.
Ultimately all three options would create a new resource and you need to update access key in the dependent services. I think option 2 is a good choice for a production workload.
I have an interesting issue in Azure where somehow I've had some resources assign themselves to "Default-Web-NorthEurope" and some to "Default-Web-northeurope". (Note capitalisation)
Lets say I have Website1 and Website2. I'd like both of these to belong to the same App Service Plan. If I create a new one for "Website1" named "WebsitesServicePlan" The UI won't show me that plan when trying to change the plan for "Website2".
Has anyone else come across this issue and have any idea of a solution?
First of all, Azure Resource Group naming is not case sensitive. So I've no idea how you created two resource groups with the name Default-Web-NorthEurope and Default-Web-northeurope successfully. I suggest you double check the names in the portal.
Assume that the Default-Web-NorthEurope and Default-Web-northeurope are different groups and as you descriped Website1 is in Default-Web-NorthEurope, Website2 in Default-Web-northeurope, UI will definitely not show you the App Service Plan you created for "Websites1" when trying to change the plan for "Website2". Because both apps and plans are contained in a resource group. Apps can be moved between plans as long as the plans are in the same resource group and geographical region. In other words, when you want to change plans for app, the plans must be in the same resource group and geographical region.
