Need a read-only role or operation for Web App Kudu logs.
Developers need to be able to access the KUDU logs for deployment and diagnostic troubleshooting without having contributor access to the web app. Can a read-only role or resource provider operation be created in order to grant this level of access?

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…
50 votesHi there,
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
Thanks,

Vapor Support
Add support for Vapor under the App Services / Starter Web Apps section. This brings support to the Swift server side developer and will be one of the providers of the Vapor Red project (https://vapor.red/)
Thanks.

Web App for Containers - ACR access requires admin account enabled on repository
It looks as though Web App for Containers requires the use of the admin account on the repository in ACR.
The notes on use of the admin account suggest to use that account only for testing purposes and describe some of the downsides to having it enabled.
Is there a plan to support Service Principal access to the ACR repository for Web App for Containers?

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.
47 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)

Support SSH to specific container in multi-container setup (Compose or Kubernetes)
Currently the docs (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/containers/app-service-linux-ssh-support) only describe setting up SSH access to a single container. But what if I have a multi container setup? For example PHP-FPM with an Nginx reverse proxy.
It seems the SSH access is only supported for the public facing container (in this case Nginx).
It would be great if I could setup SSH access to all containers.

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 -

Allow AAD multi-tenant Apps using App Service Authentication and Authorization
Allow Azure Active Directory (AAD) multi-tenant Apps using App Service Authentication and Authorization.
After on-boarding a tenant with a multi tenant AAD App (Client), the tenant is not able to login to protected Web/Api Apps on App Services.
The ClientId used is the same in AAD Multitenant App.
The STS url is/can only be configured for the App/Client primary tenant GUID.There are no options to enable-multi tenant STS on App Service Authentication and authorization interface.

Make WEBSITE_ADD_SITENAME_BINDINGS_IN_APPHOST_CONFIG to 1 by default or add warning
We have been hit by hard restarts on web apps because we have not set the WEBSITEADDSITENAMEBINDINGSINAPPHOSTCONFIG to 1. It would be a more sane default to have it set to 1 by default, and then turned off by users that need WCF support OR have some sort of warning / checkbox or increased visbility in the portal.
The simultaneous restart of all (in our case) 10 servers in a datasenter has caused outage of our services, and we would imagine others experience the same issue. I doubt many assume that all servers in…

Allow FrontDoor CNAME for App Service Managed Certificate validation
When creating an App Service Managed Certificate, it should allow validation if the CNAME is pointing to a FrontDoor with the same domain (or the FrontDoor's backend is the same Web App).
Currently it gives the error "Hostname not eligible for App Service Managed Certificates creation" since the CNAME is not directly pointing to the web app.

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?

Do not remove the Advanced Restart Feature
An info bar for App Services > Diagnose and Solve Problems > Diagnostic Tools > Advanced Application Restart now states "Advanced Application Restart will be replaced with Application Health Check". Please leave the advanced restart option in place. The Health check should be an additive change, not a replacement, and certainly not a hard feature swap.
We use advanced app restarts all the time. Health check restarts would solve those scenarios where an instance is in a fully degraded state, but it would miss other scenarios (like higher memory usage, but not yet critical; or a partially degraded instance). Also,…

Support for deploying R Shiny App to Azure Web App Container
What I’m looking for is a guide/tutorial/dockerfile on how to accomplish deploying a shiny app to Azure Web Apps (a tutorial for Flask already exists https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/containers/quickstart-python). I think this would be a great addition to the App Service Linux lineup, since Shiny (https://shiny.rstudio.com/) is very popular. A somewhat similar solution exists here https://www.shinyproxy.io/.
