hi @adamgd

Thanks for opening this issue.

The name for an App Service needs to be globally unique - unfortunately in this case the name example-app-service is taken; if you switch this to another name this should work for you. Can you take a look and see if that works for you?

Since this is a question rather than a bug in the Azure Provider I'm going to close this issue for the moment - but please let us know if that doesn't work for you and we'll take another look.

Thanks!
