How to get all possible AppServicePlan configurations from an Azure subscription?

Question

I want to get a List with all possible AppService Hosting Plan configuration settings of my Azure subscription(Location, Tier, Size,...). Possibly through skus.

• It should be done using Azure SDK for .NET.
• Environment is .Net 8.0 Console Application(Windows)
• I already have a SubscriptionResource object to work with. Every sample and code here will assume "subscription" variable to be that object. Essentially, I want to get this data: Here is an example of code and how the output is expected:

        var skus = await AppServiceExtensions.GetSkusAsync(subscription);

        if (hostingPlanSkus != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Available App Service SKUs:");
            foreach (var sku in hostingPlanSkus)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Tier: {sku.Tier}, Name: {sku.Name}, Size: {sku.Size}, Family: {sku.Family}");
            }
        }

Available App Service SKUs:
Tier: Free, Name: Free, Size: F1, Family: F
Tier: Basic, Name: Basic1, Size: B1, Family: B
Tier: Standard, Name: Standard1, Size: S1, Family: S
Tier: PremiumV2, Name: PremiumV2_1, Size: P1v2, Family: Pv2

What have I tried?

• Using GetSkusAsync() returns null every-time. I've tried with different subscriptions and result is the same.

var skus = await AppServiceExtensions.GetSkusAsync(subscription);
foreach (var sku in skus.Value.Skus)
{
        Console.WriteLine($"- Tier: {sku.Tier}, Size: {sku.Size}, Name: {sku.Name}");
}

• I thought maybe was that the SubscriptionResource could not just get the hosting plan configuration plans like in Azure portal because the SubscriptionResource is used to create,store,modify already the resources. So I looked to try with MockableAppServiceSubscriptionResource. But I could't get an object out of it that would make me be able to call the function in the first try(GetSkusAsync).

If you know how to get possible hosting plan configuration. Please do share your knowledge. And if it not currently possible with Azure sdk for .net, I would also appreciate the info.

Thank you and best regards,

After my research and further queries, both azure-sdk-for-.net and Azure community teams responded and confirmed that there is currently no way to get the pricing list information from Azure CLI and azure-sdk-for-.net.

Here are the links to the posts:

I will update this answer with any new findings or responses from the Microsoft-Azure teams.

I am able to get the App Service Plan Configurations with the below code.

• I have used Tenant and Subscription ID to make sure the request is issued for correct Azure AD.

using Azure.Core;
using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.AppService;

class Program
{
    static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {       
        string TId = "**********";
        string SubID = "**********";

        var cred = new DefaultAzureCredential(new DefaultAzureCredentialOptions
        {
            TenantId = TId
        });

        var ARMC = new ArmClient(cred);

        var sub = ARMC.GetSubscriptionResource(new ResourceIdentifier($"/subscriptions/{SubID}"));
        Console.WriteLine("App Service Plan Details:");

        await foreach (var asp in sub.GetAppServicePlansAsync())
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Name: {asp.Data.Name}");           
            Console.WriteLine($"Tier: {asp.Data.Sku.Tier}, Name: {asp.Data.Sku.Name}, Size: {asp.Data.Sku.Size}, Family: {asp.Data.Sku.Family}");

            Console.WriteLine(new string('-', 50));
        }
    }
}

My .csproj file:

  <PackageReference Include="Azure.Identity" Version="1.13.1" />
  <PackageReference Include="Azure.ResourceManager.AppService" Version="1.3.0" />

Output:

As an alternative option you can use Azure CLI to get the details. Refer this SOThread once.
