How to set/change app service plan on an app service through azure cli (using az webapp update --set)

Question

Hi, I've been trying to set app service plan on an app service, but with no luck, is there a way to do wo using az webapp update --set? I've tried the following with no luck:

   #az webapp update -g $SRA_RESOURCE_GROUP --n $APP --set plan=$PRELIVE_ASP
   #az webapp update -g $SRA_RESOURCE_GROUP --n $APP --set appServicePlanId=$PRELIVE_ASP_ID

Answer 1

Hi, just for some additional clarification:

• Are you looking at MOVING your existing app service to a different app service plan?

If this is the case, it doesn't sound like it is possible using the CLI to do this, and I recommend raising an Issue directly on the Azure CLI issue.

@Zhanelya Subebayeva Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

Based on the shared information, I understand that you are trying to change the app service plan of a particular app service using cmdlets.

Adding to lukemurraynz response. To achieve your requirement, alternatively you can use the below PowerShell cmdlets.

$currentappserviceplan=(Get-AzWebApp -ResourceGroupName <RGName> -Name <AppServiceName>).ServerFarmId.Split("/")[-1]
$newappserviceplan=<NewAppServiceplan>
Set-AzWebApp -ResourceGroupName <RGName> -Name <AppServiceName> -AppServicePlan $newappserviceplan

Note: You can move an app to another App Service plan, as long as the source plan and the target plan are in the same resource group, geographical region, and of the same OS type. Any change in type such as Windows to Linux or any type that is different from the originating type is not supported.

I have tested this in my environment it is working fine, and I would suggest you validate from your end as well.
