How to create a Linux AppService Plan with New-AzAppServicePlan? - azure

Question

What is the equivalient of this code using New-AzAppServicePlan?
az appservice plan create --resource-group $ServerFarmResourceGroupName `
--name $AppServicePlanName `
--is-linux `
--location $ResourceGroupLocation `
--sku $AppServicePlanTier `
--number-of-workers $NumberOfWorkers
Is there really no way to create an App Service Plan using Az Powershell? Why can it only be done via Azure CLI or ARM?
I only found this answer, which basically uses ARM directly: How do I use Powershell to create an Azure Web App that runs on Linux?

Answer 1

There are some issues about this, suppose for now this is not supported for New-AzureRmAppServicePlan, however you could use New-AzureRmResource to create a linux plan. You could try the below command.
New-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName <>group name -Location "Central US" -ResourceType microsoft.web/serverfarms -ResourceName <plan name> -kind linux -Properties #{reserved="true"} -Sku #{name="S1";tier="Standard"; size="S1"; family="S"; capacity="1"} -Force

Answer 2

I originally used my script to create a ConsumptionPlan (Y1) through PowerShell and AzureCLI because I don't like when Azure put a generated name when creating a ConsumptionPlan.
Please find my solution to create a Linux App Service Plan (B1) using New-AzResource:
$fullObject = #{
location = "West Europe"
sku = #{
name = "B1"
tier = "Basic"
}
kind = "linux"
properties = #{
reserved = $true
}
}
$resourceGroupName = "rg-AppServicePlanLinux"
$serverFarmName = "aspl-test"
Write-Host "Step 1: CREATING APP SERVICE PLAN B1:Basic named [$serverFarmName]"
# Create a server farm which will host the function app in the resource group specified
New-AzResource -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -ResourceType "Microsoft.Web/serverfarms" -Name $serverFarmName -IsFullObject -PropertyObject $fullObject -Force
So I used the ARM template to understand which information you need to provide on the -PropertyObject parameter
It also now seems possible to do an App Service Plan Linux with New-AzAppServicePlan command since Az PowerShell 4.3.0 (June 2020) with the parameter -Linux

If you get "The Service is unavailable" after deploying your new Function app (Consumption Plan) with Azure CLI, please make sure the following statement from Microsoft:
https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Functions/wiki/Creating-Function-Apps-in-an-existing-Resource-Group
I waste the whole day because I got another Function App (Premium Plan) in the same resource group I used to deploy the Consumption one.

Answer 3

This worked for me:
Adding -Linux as a parameter to my command
New-AzAppServicePlan -ResourceGroupName $RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME -Name $APP_SERVICE_PLAN_NAME -Location $RESOURCE_LOCATION -Linux -Tier $APP_SERVICE_PLAN_TIER -NumberofWorkers $APP_SERVICE_PLAN_WORKERS -WorkerSize $APP_SERVICE_PLAN_WORKER_SIZE
Example:
New-AzAppServicePlan -ResourceGroupName 'MyResourceGroup' -Name 'MyServicePlan' -Location 'northeurope' -Linux -Tier 'PremiumV2' -NumberofWorkers 2 -WorkerSize Medium
That's all.
I hope this helps
