Unable to create Azure search service through terraform and AZ CLI with Standard3 High density SKU but getting the error

I am trying to create an azure search service through terraform but it is not supported through standard3 High Density SKU. Subsequently, I am trying to create it with AZ CLI but getting the error as"ERROR: Unrecognized arguments: --hosting-mode highDensity". How to resolve this error and create a search service with S3HD SKU?

I Passed the AZ CLI command to create an Azure Search Service with S3HD Sku but it failed saying hosting mode is an unsupported argument, Also terraform does not support High Density SKU.

Solution

    Follow the below steps to create Azure Search Service using CLI.

    If you select Azure Search Service SKU S3HD, it will show as Standard3 High density as below.
