# Troubleshoot ApplicationGatewaySkuNotSpecified Error

## Symptom:
Application Gateway cannot be created or updated because the SKU (size) for the gateway has not been specified resulting in error `ApplicationGatewaySkuNotSpecified`

## Cause:
The **SKU** (Standard or WAF) for the Application Gateway was not provided during the creation or configuration process.

## Resolution:
1. **Verify SKU Settings:**
- Ensure that the correct SKU is specified when creating or configuring the Application Gateway.
- For example, use `Standard_v2` or `WAF_v2` for newer SKU types.
- Example configuration:
```json
"sku": {
"name": "Standard_v2",
"tier": "Standard"
}
```

2. **Update Application Gateway Configuration:**
- If modifying an existing Application Gateway, update the SKU settings using the Azure Portal, CLI, or ARM template.

3. **Check ARM Template/CLI Command:**
- If using an ARM template or Azure CLI, ensure that the `sku` section is included correctly.
- For CLI:
```bash
az network application-gateway create --name <gateway_name> --resource-group <resource_group> --sku Standard_v2 --public-ip-address <public_ip>
```

4. **Re-deploy or Retry Creation:**
- After specifying the SKU, retry creating or updating the Application Gateway.
