Increase the custom host name limit on App Service
Right now, there is a limit of 500 custom home name on app service. We've an app service where in we configure custom hostname for each of our client. And we hit the limti of 500. Work around is to host multiple app service but that is too much overhead.
We hit similar limit on AWS Cloud front and they increase the limit right away. We may need to think as an alternate if this is the hard limit on Azure.
Looking forward for positive response.52 votesHello,
Thank you for your feedback. Currently, we do not have plans to increase the custom host name limit. We will leave this request “open” for users to vote/comment.

Fix export of resource type 'Microsoft.Web/sites/config'
get error :"Could not get resources of the type 'Microsoft.Web/sites/config'. Resources of this type will not be exported. (Code: ExportTemplateProviderError)"
Among the obvious it would be nice to see how to set various app settings like turning off PHP and activating 'Always On' or maybe turning off 'ARR Affinity'.

Send shutdown HTTP request for graceful termination
There is no way to gracefully shutdown a Node Windows App Service. It would be great if iisnode sent a shutdown/cooldown request, just like it sends a warmup request (https://michaelcandido.com/app-service-warm-up-demystified/). This would allow us to close DB connections and stop processing Azure Service Bus messages, for example.

FTP accounts tied to subscription, not user. Not enough auditing
In the current model, FTP credentials are tied to a user's azure login. Thus, we have no visibility into credentials that are set, as we cannot see other people's FTP credentials they've set. Furthermore, when an FTP account is created or deleted, nothing is logged. This makes it difficult to audit who has access. With the logins being tied to the user, when the user leaves, there is no way for us to reclaim that username unless they delete their ftp credentials first. This doesn't always work, as a user may depart abruptly or not on good terms. Although the…

Thanks for logging this idea. It’s definitely a valid request and we’ll leave it under review to see it collects more support from users.
As a reference, take a look at the deployment credentials doc we have out: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-web/app-service-deployment-credentials

Linux Static Site on Nginx
One of the most common web techniques today is static generated web sites. Ideally, there would be an option along with Node, Php etc for Static HTML. This would allow configuration for just running Nginx web servers to host static sites.

Need a read-only role or operation for Web App Kudu logs.

Connecting WebApp Service and a DBaaS (MS SQL MySQL etc)PaaS through a VNet service
Connecting WebApp Service and a DBaaS (MS SQL MySQL etc)PaaS through a VNet service. We understand that there is a SNAT limitation when a webapp service is connected to a PaaS service that causes error in the application.
We need private endpoint for DB PaaS services for overcoming the SNAT limitation and also to reduce the latency while connected through private IP address.43 votes -
implement a graceful restart an Azure Web App with multiple instance
We would like to have feature through which we can perform the configuration changes through portal without down time when there are multiple instances are available. The similar stuff is available in advanced restart where you can define the delay between restart of each instance.
43 votesHi everyone, we have some long-term plans to improve the restart speed and experience.
For this scenario we suggest creating a new slot, applying your changes there, validating they work, and swapping your changes. This pattern will avoid downtime on your production site.

Document healthcheck URL requirement for custom containers
With Web App for Containers, it seems Azure uses a special URL "/robots933456.txt" to check when the container has started, and expects a valid HTTP response (404 is fine). This requirement for custom containers should be mentioned in the documentation! (and preferably, it should be configurable)

DNS resolution is not working in Azure Web App for Containers (linux)
DNS resolution is not working in Web App for Containers (linux) when using custom docker image. The DHCP generated resolv.conf is broken. After using SSH to log in to the container trying nslookup google.com also fails with DNS resolution error.
See my sample project for more details:
https://github.com/henkosch/azure-webapp-dnstest
The problem is also mentioned in the comments section on this page:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/containers/app-service-linux-faq
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Add support for Websocket connections when AAD authentication is enabled.
Websockets do not work on Linux containers if AAD authentication is turned on. This effectively forces Linux containers to operate without any authentication services when we use Websockets.
This severely hampers adoption of WebApps for us as we cannot enable authentication, so we will move the container on-prem.

App Service Public SSL Certificates persist When Swapping Slot
Currently, if a Web App slot (ex: "staging") is created from an existing Web App that has Public SSL Certificates configured, these are not present on the new slot.
In addition during a slot swap, the "production" slot does not persist the Public SSL Certificates. The configuration for the Public SSL Certificate moves to the "staging" slot.
This behavior does not appear for other configurations such as Private SSL Certificates or AppSettings and could lead to "production" issues if the Public SSL Certificate is expected on the Web App.
The consumer recourse currently is to re-apply the Public SSL Certificates…
