App Service Plan

Note - While creating an web app we need to take care about Resource Group & App Service Plan. You can change the resource group any time but if you try to change the app service plan then the new app service plan should have the same Location/SKU/Plan/subscription and should be present in the same resource group on which you are trying to move the web app.
