Changing Azure Function Plan

Question

Hi,

I have a function running on consumption plan and I am trying to upgrade it to a premium plan from the portal. Under "App Service Plan", the option "Change App Service Plan" is greyed out with the message "This feature is not available for Linux function apps running on a consumption plan".

This was still possible a couple of months ago.

Q1:

An alternate option would be to create a new app service plan but how do the options there (Premium V3 P0V3, Premium V3 P1V3, etc) align with https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/functions/?

Q2:
Am I missing some key documentation? Are the changes to the portal (such as this one) broadcasted somewhere so that we can keep up?

Q3: How can I upgrade my function plan?

Thanks.

@Jean David Ruvini Thanks for reaching out. According to the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-how-to-use-azure-function-app-settings?tabs=azure-portal%2Cto-premium#plan-migration, migration of function apps from a consumption plan to a premium plan is not supported for Linux function apps.

Given this limitation, you will need to create a new function app in the desired premium plan and then migrate your code and settings manually.

do let me know incase of further queries, I would be happy to assist you.
