cloning app option is greyoud out

Question

Why is the option Clone App greyed out?

Answer 1

Hi @Kris Best

Keep in mind that this feature is only available to apps hosted on App cloning is supported for Standard, Premium, Premium V2, and Isolated app service plans.

Cloning is the ability to clone an existing Web App to a newly created app that is often in a different region. This will enable customers to deploy a number of apps across different regions quickly and easily.

Scenario: A company has an existing web app in West US, they would like to clone the app to East US to serve folks that live on that site with better performance such as latency.

In order to take advantage of this, you'll need to log into your Azure account and go to your App Service that you created and look under Development Tools then you will see Clone App.

@Kris Best Thanks for reaching out. This could be happening if your web app is an App Service on Linux, or a containerized web app running on a custom container (also known as Web App for Containers). Also note that app cloning is supported on Standard, Premium, Premium V2, and Isolated app service plans. Please check this article for more details.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you have further questions.
