Create Web App Bot service using Powershell script - azure

I have created web app service on azure using powershell script .Can i create Web app bot using powershell script? Is there some reference document which i can refer?
I am looking to add following services
Bot Service Registration
Web App
Application Insights

Chinmay,
the Azure Powershell module documentation can be found here.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the ability to create a web app bot is included.
If you've ever created a bot manually in the Azure portal, then you know that a bot actually consists of several azure resource types like an app service, a bot service, etc.
I would like to see the ability in powershell myself.
If you're interested, the Azure CLI tools DO support bot creation and managements. az bot commands are available in that toolset. Documentation can be found here.

Will my teams bot application work if my application in Azure active directory and Azure bot are in two different accounts?

So I have a scenario where my sso app registration is in Azure active directory at dev1#mycompanyonline.com and my bot is provisioned using Azure bot in Azure portal that's in dev2#mycompanyonline.com. my bot web service is hosted publicly on Https with URL .../api/messages endpoint configured in Azure bot.
What can I do to make this work ? Currently when I upload my app package to teams it doesn't work and says something went wrong with no error. What could be the issue?
I provisioned cloud resources using teams tool kit and deployed my services again using teams toolkit
When you create the Azure Bot resource, you also create an Azure App Registration. This resource is also where you configure SSO authentication. The Azure App Service (or alternative server solution) actually hosts and runs the Bot as a web app. If you are trying to put the Azure Bot in the dev1 tenant and the App Service in the dev2 tenant, then this scenario should work as long as the bot's AppType is MultiTenant.
I haven't always had the best luck publishing a bot with Teams Toolkit. You might try the method in the docs on publishing a bot.

Microsoft Bot Framework without azure subscription process for production launch

I have created the Bot using Microsoft Bot framework in C# and I have hosted the Bot in the cloud environment (Pivotal cloud Foundry) not in Azure. I have registered the bot in the link to enable webchat using direct line and I have received the appid and app password for that. I Understand that registration is free without azure subscription to enable the webchat. I have red the forum link which clearly tells that subscription is not required for bot registration if the bot is hosted in the non-azure environment. Now my Bot is working without any issues.
But my question is shall i proceed with same process for production environment. is there any limitation on this?

What is the difference between "Azure Web app" and "Azure App Service"?

I'm quite new to Azure, trying to learn how to explore what are the possibilities of publishing a website on azure, to be a bit more at ease to do the the AZ-204.
On the azure dashboard, I can create "Azure web apps", "Azure app service"(not mentionning CI/CD and serverless).
What are the difference between the two? I initially taught the azure web app was code driven(connected to git) and "App Service" one was docker-based.
But for both option, when you move to next step, you can choose if you publish the code or the docker container:
Can some body explain what is the difference between the two? And/or the most important advantage of one over the other?
I've searched for a while, but it's not the same product name everytime and I'm really sure it's still the same product.
There is no difference. To quote the documentation:
The only difference between the three app types (API, web, mobile) is
the name and icon used for them in the Azure portal.
Behind the scene it is already using app service all the time. If you consider WebApp and WebApp for containers is a part of Appservice, you don't actually pay for webApps, but you pay for the Appservice plan!
If you go to the Azure Web Apps site and click on the Documentation tab, it will take you to the MS Documentation for App Service Overview. Furthermore take a look at the MS Documentation Choose an Azure compute service for your application. This is a decision flowchart to host your application code. Azure Web Apps does not appear in the decision tree. Next take a look at the following subtopic Create and deploy web app service with Azure CLI command. The CLI command is as follows: "az webapp up --name <your_app_name> --logs --launch-browser". A little confusing but not if you look at the following documentation Azure CLI Documentation: Azure Web Apps, which shows the following commands:
az staticwebapp - Manage static apps.
az webapp - Manage web apps.
Finally, look at the following MS Documentation: CLI samples for Azure App Service. This is a list of numerous scripts for creating an Azure Service Plan and App Service. They ALL use either "az staticwebapp" or "az webapp". So the documentation use the term "Azure App Service" but the CLI command does not. There is no separate MS product for Azure Web Apps!
Web app is a part of App service.
There are 4 types of App Services:
Web App – used for hosting websites and web applications (previously Azure Websites)
API App – used for hosting the RESTful APIs
Logic App – used for business process automation, system integration and sharing data across clouds
Mobile App – used for hosting mobile app back ends (previously delivered by Azure Mobile services)
Azure runs App Services on a fully managed set of virtual machines in either a dedicated or shared mode, based on your App Service Plan. ... Web App – used for hosting websites and web applications (previously Azure Websites) API App – used for hosting the RESTful APIs.

Registering an Azure Bot on https://dev.botframework.com/

Unfortunately the site https://dev.botframework.com/ doesn't see my bot, that was created in Azure. I followed this steps:
Go to the https://dev.botframework.com/bots
Click on Create a bot with the Azure Bot Service
Create Web App Bot
I use the Azure Subscription, where i have an Owner Role.
Now i have the Bot, i could test it, i could modify code using my Desktop Visual Studio, i could publish the code from the visual studio to the Bot and test it in Azure
But the site https://dev.botframework.com/bots/ still shows me, that I don't have any bots.
I am completely new to this topic, so could you help me on this, what I'm doing wrong?
The dev.botframework.com site is (being) retired and is being replaced with the Azure Bot Service. The bot you created should appear on Azure Bot Service inside the Azure portal instead of on the Botframework portal.
You can get started through this link
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/bot-service/
For the official documentation, you can visit

Creating Azure Bot Service using ARM template

I have tried creating with the Azure Bot Service and using the default ARM template generated in Azure, but it is just creating the resource.
Can I create an ARM template which will also configure Azure Bot Service with the following?
Language to be used for development (C# or NodeJS).
Associate the Microsoft App ID and App Password.
Template to be used, such as Basic, Dialog, LUIS or Proactive bot.
LUIS Integration.
It would help to create a new environment in Azure easily through templates.
Also I can use the template in DevOps VSTS release step, so that I can automate the deployment process.
Currently there are no officially supported prebuilt ARM Templates available.
Reference Github. But what can be done is, deploy the resources manually from the azure portal and navigate to resourceGroup Homepage -> Automation Script and grab the template from there and modify it as needed.
