Scale a web app manually using PowerShell

In this scenario you will learn to create a resource group, app service plan and web app. You will then scale the App Service Plan from a single instance to multiple instances.

If needed, install the Azure PowerShell using the instruction found in the Azure PowerShell guide, and then run Connect-AzAccount to create a connection with Azure.

Sample script

[!INCLUDE updated-for-az]

[!code-azurepowershell-interactivemain]

Clean up deployment

After the script sample has been run, the following command can be used to remove the resource group, web app, and all related resources.

Remove-AzResourceGroup -Name $ResourceGroupName -Force
