Azure move app service to a different app service plan

Question

I have the following setup:

• Resource group 1
  • App service plan 1
  • App Service 1 (app service plan 1)
• Resource group 2

Answer 1

I would like to move App Service 3 which is into Resource group 2 but uses app service plan 1, to app service plan 2. Is this possible?

Based on my understanding App Service Plan 1 in the resource group 1 and Service Plan 2 in the resource group 2, we can't do that from azure portal currently. According to the official document, we could change service that in the same resource group and geographical location.

Only valid plans (in the same resource group and geographical location) are shown

About we could not create App service plan in the change service plan interface, and I also repro it. In my option,it is not a development issue, and we could report a ticket in the azure portal.

But we also could create a new App service plan in the same resource group (Resource Group 1) and geographical, then try to change the service plan, it will be shown in the change Service Plan interface.

In my option, it is not recommended that WebApp application and Service Plan are not in the same resource group.

Answer 2

Are App service plan 1 and App service plan 2 in the same region?

You can have resources in multiple regions in the same resource group, but App Services and App Service plan must be in the same region.

My best guess is:

• App service plan 1, App Service 1, and App Service 3 are in Region X.

• App service plan 2 and App Service 2 are in Region Y.

You might have to recreate App Service 1a in App Service Plan 2. :(
