Where is documentation for Creating AutoScaler Rules with Powershell for Azure App Service Web apps?

Question

Here is the powershell documentation for creating VM scale sets and rules for the autoscaler:

[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machine-scale-sets/tutorial-autoscale-powershell#create-a-scale-set

Where is the powershell counterpart of this documentation for Azure App Service Web Apps that would allow me use powershell to create rules for scalling up and down my web apps?

I found the references for doing this in the portal but I cannot find the powershell documentation.

I would also like the link for the Azure CLI documentation on WebApp autoscaling rules.

Thanks
