A Log Analytics workspace is required for the Container Apps environment. The following commands create a Log Analytics workspace and save the workspace ID and primary shared key to environment variables.

$WorkspaceArgs = @{
    Name = 'myworkspace'
    ResourceGroupName = $ResourceGroupName
    Location = $Location
    PublicNetworkAccessForIngestion = 'Enabled'
    PublicNetworkAccessForQuery = 'Enabled'

$WorkspaceId = (Get-AzOperationalInsightsWorkspace -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Name $WorkspaceArgs.Name).CustomerId
$WorkspaceSharedKey = (Get-AzOperationalInsightsWorkspaceSharedKey -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -Name $WorkspaceArgs.Name).PrimarySharedKey

To create the environment, run the following command:

$EnvArgs = @{
    EnvName = $ContainerAppsEnvironment
    ResourceGroupName = $ResourceGroupName
    Location = $Location
    AppLogConfigurationDestination = "log-analytics"
    LogAnalyticConfigurationCustomerId = $WorkspaceId

    VnetConfigurationInfrastructureSubnetId = $InfrastructureSubnet
    VnetConfigurationInternal = $true

• The platform-reserved-cidr and docker-bridge-cidr address ranges can't conflict with each other, or with the ranges of either provided subnet. Further, make sure these ranges don't conflict with any other address range in the VNET.

• If these properties aren’t provided, the CLI autogenerates the range values based on the address range of the VNET to avoid range conflicts.

• The VnetConfigurationPlatformReservedCidr and VnetConfigurationDockerBridgeCidr address ranges can't conflict with each other, or with the ranges of either provided subnet. Further, make sure these ranges don't conflict with any other address range in the VNET.
