How do I use Powershell to create an Azure Web App that runs on Linux

Question

When building a Web App in the Azure Portal, I can define the host OS system. How can I do the same thing with Powershell? I checked through the documentation for the New-AzureRmWebApp and New-AzureRmAppServicePlan cmdlets but couldn't find any mention of passing the OS as a parameter. I also tried using the Azure CLI 2.0 on Ubuntu, but it didn't work.

Try the command below:

New-AzureRmResource -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -Location <Location> -ResourceType microsoft.web/serverfarms -ResourceName <YourPlanName> -kind linux -Properties @{reserved="true"} -Sku @{name="S1";tier="Standard"; size="S1"; family="S"; capacity="1"} -Force
New-AzureRmWebApp -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -Name <YourAppName> -AppServicePlan <YourPlanName>

Check it in the Azure Resource Explorer.
