In this article, we will explore the usage of the New-AzFunctionAppPlan cmdlet in PowerShell to create function app plans in the Windows environment. Function app plans are essential for managing and scaling Azure Functions, and understanding how to create them using PowerShell is crucial for Windows-based engineers and administrators.

Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that allows you to run event-driven code without worrying about infrastructure management. Function app plans provide a way to group and manage Azure Functions within a common hosting plan, enabling resource sharing and cost optimization.

By utilizing the New-AzFunctionAppPlan cmdlet, you can automate the creation of function app plans in your Windows environment, allowing for efficient management and scalability of your Azure Functions.

Examples:

1. Creating a Function App Plan:

$resourceGroupName = "MyResourceGroup"

$planName = "MyFunctionAppPlan"

$location = "West US"



New-AzFunctionAppPlan -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $planName -Location $location

2. Specifying Resource Sku for the Function App Plan:

$resourceGroupName = "MyResourceGroup"

$planName = "MyFunctionAppPlan"

$location = "West US"

$skuName = "Y1"

$skuTier = "Dynamic"



New-AzFunctionAppPlan -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $planName -Location $location -SkuName $skuName -SkuTier $skuTier

3. Creating a Function App Plan with a Virtual Network Integration:

$resourceGroupName = "MyResourceGroup"

$planName = "MyFunctionAppPlan"

$location = "West US"

$vnetName = "MyVirtualNetwork"

$subnetName = "MySubnet"



$vnet = Get-AzVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vnetName

$subnet = Get-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -VirtualNetwork $vnet -Name $subnetName



New-AzFunctionAppPlan -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $planName -Location $location -Vnet $vnet -Subnet $subnet
