Create an App Service plan

Tip

If y'all desire to create a plan in an App Service Environment, you can select it in the Region and follow the rest of the steps every bit described below.

You tin can create an empty App Service programme, or you can create a plan as part of app creation.

  1. In the Azure portal, select Create a resources.

    Create a resource in the Azure portal.

  2. Select New > Web App or some other kind of App service app.

    Create an app in the Azure portal.

  3. Configure the Instance Details section earlier configuring the App Service programme. Settings such as Publish and Operating Systems can change the available pricing tiers for your App Service plan. Region determines where your App Service plan is created.

  4. In the App Service Programme section, select an existing plan, or create a programme by selecting Create new.

    Create an App Service plan.

  5. When creating a plan, y'all can select the pricing tier of the new plan. In Sku and size, select Change size to change the pricing tier.

Movement an app to some other App Service programme

You tin can move an app to another App Service plan, as long every bit the source plan and the target programme are in the aforementioned resource grouping and geographical region.

Note

Azure deploys each new App Service program into a deployment unit, internally called a webspace. Each region tin accept many webspaces, just your app can just move betwixt plans that are created in the same webspace. An App Service Environment is an isolated webspace, and then apps can be moved between plans in the same App Service Environment, but not betwixt plans in dissimilar App Service Environments.

You can't specify the webspace you want when creating a plan, simply information technology'southward possible to ensure that a program is created in the same webspace every bit an existing plan. In brief, all plans created with the same resources group, region combination and operating system are deployed into the aforementioned webspace. For instance, if you created a plan in resources grouping A and region B, then whatsoever plan you afterward create in resource grouping A and region B is deployed into the same webspace. Note that plans can't move webspaces after they're created, so you tin can't motion a programme into "the same webspace" as another plan by moving it to some other resources group.

  1. In the Azure portal, search for and select App services and select the app that you want to motion.

  2. From the left menu, select Change App Service plan.

  3. In the App Service plan dropdown, select an existing program to move the app to. The dropdown shows only plans that are in the same resource group and geographical region as the current App Service plan. If no such program exists, it lets you create a plan by default. You tin can likewise create a new programme manually by selecting Create new.

  4. If you lot create a plan, you tin can select the pricing tier of the new plan. In Pricing Tier, select the existing tier to change it.

    Important

    If yous're moving an app from a higher-tiered plan to a lower-tiered plan, such as from D1 to F1, the app may lose certain capabilities in the target plan. For instance, if your app uses TLS/SSL certificates, you lot might meet this mistake message:

    Cannot update the site with hostname '<app_name>' because its current TLS/SSL configuration 'SNI based SSL enabled' is non allowed in the target compute mode. Allowed TLS/SSL configuration is 'Disabled'.

  5. When finished, select OK.

Move an app to a dissimilar region

The region in which your app runs is the region of the App Service plan information technology's in. Yet, yous cannot change an App Service plan'south region. If you lot desire to run your app in a unlike region, one culling is app cloning. Cloning makes a re-create of your app in a new or existing App Service program in any region.

You tin find Clone App in the Development Tools section of the menu.

Calibration an App Service plan

To calibration up an App Service plan'southward pricing tier, come across Scale upwards an app in Azure.

To scale out an app's instance count, come across Scale example count manually or automatically.

Delete an App Service programme

To avoid unexpected charges, when y'all delete the last app in an App Service plan, App Service besides deletes the plan by default. If y'all choose to proceed the plan instead, you should change the plan to Free tier so you're not charged.

Important

App Service plans that have no apps associated with them still incur charges considering they keep to reserve the configured VM instances.
