Answer 1

Use: az monitor app-insights component create

az monitor app-insights component create --app
                                         --location
                                         --resource-group
                                         [--application-type]
                                         [--ingestion-access {Disabled, Enabled}]
                                         [--kind]
                                         [--query-access {Disabled, Enabled}]
                                         [--retention-time]
                                         [--tags]
                                         [--workspace]

The link provided by Rohit works

az resource create \
    --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP \
    --resource-type "Microsoft.Insights/components" \
    --name $NAMESPACE_PREFIX-appinsights \
    --location $PRIMARY_LOCATION \
    --properties '{"Application_Type":"web"}'
