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

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?

You're right ... seems that is does not support linux: https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/issues/7096 — Thiago Custodio, Jan 13 '20 at 15:48

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

Yes, this is also the solution in the answer I linked to in my question... I was hoping for a different solution. – Alex AIT Jan 14 '20 at 07:56
Check this [comment](https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/issues/7096#issuecomment-507961265), suppose this feature will come online after a while. – George Chen Jan 14 '20 at 08:09
Thanks for this. I tried it with the Az module ie New-AzResource and it worked fine for me. There are a number of subtle things ones needs to watch though. @GeorgeChen, how does one enable container support? – Eniola Mar 28 '20 at 17:42

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

Fixed bug to get SiteConfig when -Name is not given for Get-AzWebApp

Added a support to create ASP for Linux Apps

Added exceptions for clone across resource groups

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.

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
