  --name MyVNet \
  --address-prefix 10.0.0.0/16 \
  --subnet-name MySubnet \
  --subnet-prefix 10.0.1.0/24Copy

Verify the VNet:

az network vnet show --resource-group MyResourceGroup --name MyVNet --output jsonCopy

3. Set Up a Storage Account

az storage account create \
  --name mystorageacct123 \
  --resource-group MyResourceGroup \
  --location eastus \

4. Deploy an App Service

Create an App Service plan:

az appservice plan create \

  --plan MyPlan \
  --name myuniqueappname2025 \
  --runtime "NODE|14-lts"Copy

5. Manage Configuration Settings

  --resource-group MyResourceGroup \
  --name myuniqueappname2025 \
  --settings "ENVIRONMENT=Production"Copy

Retrieve all settings:

az webapp config appsettings list \
  --resource-group MyResourceGroup \
  --name myuniqueappname2025 \
