Azure management API: How to change web app pricing tier?

Question

I'm automating the creation of Azure web apps using the management SDK (ie https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net ) and it's not obvious how to change a web apps app service plan pricing tier using this SDK. Specifically I want to change the web apps I'm creating from 'Free' to 'Shared'.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Look at WebHostingPlanOperations.UpdateAsync() ( WebHostingPlanOperations.cs ).

Notice that it takes a WebHostingPlanUpdateParameters object as a parameter (located in Models, here ). Within that, you can set:

• WorkerSize (0, 1, or 2 for Small, Medium or Large)
• SkuOptions (which takes a SkuOptions enum, also in Models, here ).

SkuOptions values:

• Free = 0
• Shared = 1
• Basic = 2
• Standard = 3
• Premium = 4

Answer 2

You can change the pricing tier from the Portal

WebApps -> Select the Web App -> Scale -> Choose the desired Pricing Tier.
