Hi Team,

I am unable to create app service using poweshell command.

Below is the command I have used.

New-AzWebApp -ResourceGroupName "appservicerg" -Name "helloworld9847336" -Location "eastus" -AppServicePlan "appserviceplan1234"

Please refer the attached screenshot for reference.appservicepowershellcommand

Thanks,

    Hello @ANSHU KUMAR

    Error "The website name is not available" means that name has been taken and you need to choose another name for your app
    An App service resource (and this includes variants built on App service such as Azure functions) must have a globally unique name - this is because the name you give will be a subdomain of the Microsoft owned DNS http://<app-name>.azurewebsites.net
