Hi @vienleidl

In the az containerapp compose create command, if the specified environment name does not exist in the resource group or the environment resource Id does not exist, it will auto create a new environment will a new log workspace.

If you want to create an environment with exiting log workspace, you can use this:

$logs_workspace_customer_id=$(az monitor log-analytics workspace show -g {resource-group-name} -n {your-log-workspace-name} --query "customerId")
$logs_workspace_shared_key=$(az monitor log-analytics workspace get-shared-keys -g {resource-group-name} -n {your-log-workspace-name} --query "primarySharedKey")
az containerapp env create -n {name} -g {resource-group-name} --logs-workspace-id {logs_workspace_customer_id} --logs-workspace-key {logs_workspace_shared_key}

Hi @Greedygre, gotcha & thank you! Now I can see that the LA workspace is sticked with the Container App Environment, it means the workspace should be created in advance.
