Hi Team,

we are using azure api app serviceFor backend.

Provisoning for api app is done manually, launcing it from marketplace option.

We want to manage it via iac like

a. terraform but tf resources is not available for same.

b. arm template - it is good for new resource deployment but not fitting good for updation in resources.

if any boday can suggest how to manage it via iac it will be very helpful

@kuldeep Singh Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A.

Could you please confirm which Azure Service you are referring here either Azure App Service or Azure API Management. if not, these please share the details which service you are using.

So that I can add the appropriate tags and so that right SME can be engaged accordingly.

@kuldeep Singh Thanks for your response and sharing more details.

I understand that you are looking for an iac template to create the API apps as shown in the screenshot that was shared earlier.

When I tried to deploy the API App in one of our subscriptions, I see that App Service is getting deployed.

Azure App Service enables you to build and host web apps, mobile back ends, and RESTful APIs in the programming language of your choice without managing infrastructure.

You refer to the following to doc for the IAC template to create the app service using terraform.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions on this.

Please accept as "Yes" if the answer is helpful so that it can help others in the community.

kuldeep Singh Thanks for your response.

As mentioned earlier, when we have created the API APP service which is highlighted in the below image & GIF it is creating app service as backend only.

Also, the learn more section while creating the app service is redirecting to app service documentation only. Since API App is one of the features of azure app service as mentioned here.
