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?

Answer 1

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.
