Azure App Service Q&A - from public discussions
It is great that Microsoft employees answer questions on forums like StackOverflow and in response to comments in blog posts. I wanted to collate interesting Q&A that I run into as part of my learning & research. Some content has been edited for clarity & to provide context.
Is WebJobs available in the Windows version of Web Apps but not in the Linux version of Web Apps?
apurva.joshi@MSFT: WebJobs are not supported on Linux offering. Moving forward, In general, our recommendation is to use Azure Functions for generic WebJob workload. We understand this might not be viable option for all scenarios and we are exploring options to address those as well.
Can we migrate current Azure App Service apps to Linux ones? Not that I'd know how exactly it would work, but I have an ASP.NET Core Azure App Service app that I'd like to see run on Linux. Would we have to create another one, deploy to it, kill the other one and copy settings over?
apurva.joshi@MSFT: Yes, you would have to create another application using Linux OS (you can choose built-in runtime for ASP.NET Core) - You can either FTP or Git Deploy code - just like how you would with App Service on Linux.
Are there any improvements in App Service Environment (ASE) provisioning time. ASE1 takes 3-4 hours if i am right.
Christina Compy [ccompy@MSFT]: Yes. The provisioning time is faster. Provisioning the ASE runs from 40-60 minutes depending on a mix of things. Scaling out takes ~20 minutes. Scaling into a worker size you haven't used before takes ~30 minutes. Times can vary as there are a lot of moving parts involved with deployment.
