  1. 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…

  2. Enable 'Resource Health' Feature for Isolated App Service Plans

    Enable 'Resource Health" feature for Isolated App Service Plans.

    Currently, it shows error message "incorrect health status - not supported"

    "
    Resource health status is not available for Free, Shared or Isolated App Service plan. To enable health status, consider upgrading to a Basic, Standard, or Premium App Service plan.
    Report incorrect health status "

    Instead, users of the most expensive plan, Isolated, in an ASE, are encouraged to change their plan?

    Please add the feature or adjust the message. Thank you.

  3. Request to manage diagnostic settings for App Service Plan from Azure portal.

    We need to manage diagnostic settings for App Service Plan from the Azure portal like other resources.
    You can manage diagnostic settings for Many Azure services on the Azure portal. Some cx basically creates diagnostic settings on the Azure portal and checks the settings. This is because such a cx would like to easily manage them thanks to GUI operations.

    However, currently, you cannot manage diagnostic settings for App Service Plan on Azure portal. For this reason, it would be nice if we could create and read thes setting from the Azure portal like other diagnostic settings.

  4. Web App built-on CORS header Access-Control-Max-Age

    Using the built-in CORS support in App Service for an API Web App, we can't specify header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' or any other headers besides 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' and 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'.

    We would like to use the App Service built-in CORS because it's easy to manage all the different allowed origins from there, but we need to be able to set headers like 'Access-Control-Max-Age', 'Cache-Control', and 'Vary' to optimize the OPTIONS calls.

  6. PowerShell and CLI support for the management of App Service Environments

    Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI commands to support the management of an App Service Environments (at least v2). Hopefully this could include the ability to get management IP information, do scaling, and if it is an ILB ASE update the ILB Certificate.

  7. Upgrade CPUs in Azure App Service Premium Tier

    Currently the "Premium" tier on App Service offers this three options:

    P1: 1VCore DSV2
    P2: 2VCores DSv2
    P3: 4VCores DSv2

    I wouldn't call this a premium tier now that we are getting into 2020...

    App service is one of the most useful services offered in Azure and it really needs an upgrade.

    Amazon's Beanstalk does not have such limitations.

    I would suggest that to upgrade the hardware/resources of the Premium tier to at least:

    P1: 2 VCores
    P2: 4 VCores
    P3: 8 VCores

    The processors model should be upgraded as well to use DSv3 or even better the F series.

  8. Option to hide/anonymize IPs in webserver logs to be GDPR compliant

    It would be very helpfull if there would be an option to hide/anonymize IPs in webapps webserver logs. Right now you have to disable webserver logs completely to be GDPR compliant which might be not best practice.

    Hi all,

    Thank you for the feedback and recommendations on this important topic!

    We will look at adding this to our feature roadmap though we don’t have any timing to share right now.

    For additional guidance please refer to “Azure Data Subject Request GDPR Documentation” under the Service Trust Portal: https://servicetrust.microsoft.com/ViewPage/GDPRDSR. Specifically read through, Part 1 – Step 5, which discusses the removal of personal data and timing in which you can leverage retention period settings for the logs.

    Thanks,
    Oded

  9. 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/.

  10. Auto-scale up and down not just out, for web apps

    Hi

    Can you expand the auto-scaling feature to include up and down scaling as well as in / out?

    so for example, scale the web app up a tier in peak and down a tier i off hours. Or something to that effect.

    Thanks

  11. Provide access to HTTPERR logs

    Currently, enabling "Web Server Logging" appears to archive only the W3C request logs. The HTTPERR logs are the only way to see any requests that failed or were rejected by the server due to TCP timeouts, idle connections, filled request queues, and similar circumstances.

  12. API Apps with AllowAnonymous

    Have a mix of authentication levels for different endpoints in the underlying Web API?

    API App to have access level of 'Public (authenticated)' but one of the endpoints needs to be accessible as an anonymous user. Previously I would have just applied the AllowAnonymous attribute on the method, but the gateway still intercepts and returns an unauthenticated response.

    Would be great to mark a specific method as allowing anonymous and the default behaviour to respect the gateway authentication level.

    unplanned  ·  AdminAzure App Service team (Product Owner, Microsoft Azure) responded

    Thank you for your feedback!

    Right now the workaround is to set your authentication/authorization option to enabled, but set the action for unauthenticated requests to “allow.” Then manually redirect unauthenticated requests to the secured endpoints to the authorization flow at /.auth/login/done.
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-mobile/app-service-mobile-how-to-configure-active-directory-authentication#optional-configure-a-native-client-application

    We would like to add more robust support for multiple auth levels in the future. I am placing this item in “unplanned” to be used in future planning sessions.

    Thanks!

  13. Create Function level Keys for Azure Functions in ARM template

    ARM templates currently allow to create functionKeys on host level as:

    {

      "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites/host/functionKeys",

      "apiVersion": "2018-11-01",

      "name": "[concat(parameters('appServiceName'), '/default/MyFunctionKey')]",

      "properties": {

        "name": "MyFunctionKey"

      }

    }

    Which is great, but does not allow a very granular level of security.
    It is possible to create FunctionKeys on Function level through the admin API (/admin/functions/$($function.functionName)/keys) but not via ARM template.

    Ideally I would like to be able to do the following in my ARM template:

    {

      "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites/functions/functionKeys",

      "apiVersion": "2018-11-01",

      "name": "[concat(parameters('appServiceName'), '/MYFUNCTIONNAME/MyFunctionKey')]",

      "properties": {

        "name": "MyFunctionKey"

      }

    }

    I do understand the main difficulty is that the function is most likely created…

  14. Allow to NGEN an Azure Web App

    When deploying an Azure Web App, allow to NGEN some DLLs like EntityFramework to save on startup time. Currently, this requires administrator rights to which we don't have access. Even better would be to automatically NGEN it after a deployment.

  16. Option to block TOR traffic from Azure WebSites

    Looking through my web logs, most traffice coming from TOR is unfortunately only used for trying to hack my site.
    Blocking TOR traffic is not trivial, since you must compare the IP to the long list of TOR exit servers.
    For websites that are really not used by e.g. dissidents it would be great to have a simple option to block it on Azure WebSites.

    Something like "Allow TOR traffice" On/Off

  17. Enable application logging in ILB ASE

    Currently there is no way to access our applications trace logs in an ILB ASE environment. I understand the Log Stream button is greyed out in the portal, but even using Kudu, FTP, blob, or streaming in VS, none of these are working in ILB ASE, and support tells us this is a known issue. This is a huge downside for us because we depend on our customized application log messages for troubleshooting.

  18. Enable AAD Authentication for Multi-container Apps

    A common (if not best) practice is to compose applications of multiple containers for the sake of separation of concerns. However, Azure doesn't support authentication with Azure Active Directory for multi-container apps. Until this is in place, we can't deploy our applications to Azure in a clean way.

  19. Rewriting to /public is absolutely not the right way to change the document root

    After doing some reading, I'm seeing Azure actually suggesting to people running Laravel (and any others that don't host out of the root project structure) applications to use mod_rewrite to rewrite requests to point to "/public".

    This is an absolutely ridiculous suggestion and is effectively some of the worst advice you could give. Forcing people to have "/public" in their URL structure because you guys didn't take the time to research the bare-minimum configuration options for your offering is not in any way acceptable.

    I suggest you urgently add support for the ability to configure the document root. Not only…
