Alternatively newer Premium V3 SKUs may not be available, in which case you also need to re-deploy your app to take advantage of newer SKUs within Premium V3. You have two options:
 
-- Create an app in a new resource group and with a new App Service plan. When creating the App Service plan, select a Premium V3 tier. This step ensures that the App Service plan is deployed into a deployment unit that supports Premium V3. Then, redeploy your application code into the newly created app. Even if you scale the App Service plan down to a lower tier to save costs, you can always scale back up to Premium V3 because the deployment unit supports it.
-- If your app already runs in an existing **Premium** tier, then you can clone your app with all app settings, connection strings, and deployment configuration into a new resource group on a new app service plan that uses Premium V3.
