We are planning to port our app to azure app service linux containers
Questions
Is “always on” feature available for linux web app containers ? We have a long running background service.
Is application insights oob ?
Thanks -nen
Thanks for asking question! I am able to see this feature in linux container web app.
Check this document on how to configure common settings : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-common#configure-general-settings
Further you can also enable Application insights
Let us know if further query on this.
Adding to Sneha's Answer-
Yes the "Always On" feature is available for Linux web apps but you need to use Azure's Basic and Standard pricing plan to use that featurere.
While Application insights is available it is not available for all runtime configurations. In that case, you may need to enable application insights by manually instrumenting the application through code by installing the Application Insights SDK. Please see this FAQ doc for more detailed information.
For future references, if you see a feature disabled in the Azure portal, it means it's not available on Linux yet. If you want a feature that isn't currently available, please feel free to request the feature in our Web Apps Feedback forum. Please make sure to put "[Linux]" in the title so that we'll know it applies to App Service on Linux and Web App for Containers.

I want to deploy multiple .net core API application in single linux based azure app service. I can't find any documentation for that. Can any one give any suggestion or idea how to achieve that.
I have thing one option but don't know is it possible or not? Can I mount azure blob storage space in configuration/ Path mapping in app service and run application from their? is it possible or any other proper way. Please suggest.
Thank you
It doesn't seem possible.
You can refer to the answer in the post below.
Hosting Two Website Under one Web App - Azure Services
IIS can handler mappings and virtual applications and directories, you can't use virtual applications and directories in linux.
If you have more questions about azure web app, you can raise a support ticket on portal. You can also put forward your ideas and suggestions in the feedback, and optimize the product together with Microsoft official.
Hope this can help you.
I am trying to use an MSI for a web app in Azure. I did this successfully for my first web app, but now when I have tried to reproduce in my second web app, the MSI option (and many others) are greyed out.
I cannot determine the difference between the two apps. And when I create a new app I get the same thing - many features greyed out.
I am running Azure in a dev environment.
I believe I figured it out.
Doesn't work on Linux. Makes sense why not?
As far as I known, at present, MSI only support App service on windows but does not support app service on Linux. For more details, please refer to the article.
Is it possible to use the application insights profiler on azure functions? Either via the portal or a more manual means.
I haven't found a way in the portal and I haven't seen explicit documentation stating either way nor github tickets.
I'd assume probably not, as many of the automagic features of application insights don't seem to be supported yet.
If it's not possible, out of interest is it because of the azure functions sandbox not giving enough permissions for profiling?

The application insights profiler is just supported in web app. The Azure function belongs to function app. So you can not use profiler in Azure function.
Profiler currently works for ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core web apps that are running on Web Apps.
If you want to suggest Microsoft to add some new features like app insights profiler in app insights in azure function, you could put your suggestion in Github.
Next steps
Application Insights is now GA’d and ready for production workloads. We’re also listening for any feedback you have. Please file it on our GitHub. We’ll be adding some new features like better sampling controls and automatic dependency tracking soon.
We checked this documentation - https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/appserviceteam/2016/08/26/onboarding-to-azure-web-marketplace on how to onboard our web apps in the Azure marketplace and also the GitHub link - https://github.com/SunBuild/web-app-marketplace
We have contacted MSFT on how to host our application which has an API and WCF applications as sub-applications.
MSFT replied that sub applications are not currently supported in through this onboarding model.
So, we are trying to onboard the three applications individually and link them in the Azure marketplace. We are not sure whether this will work or if this is possible.
In the sample applications in the GitHub link - https://github.com/SunBuild/web-app-marketplace, they have a hosting plan JSON file for the web app resource. Can we link the applications using this hosting plan JSON file?
We could not find any information or definition related to this hosting plan file - https://github.com/SunBuild/web-app-marketplace/blob/master/WebApp-SQLDatabase/DeploymentTemplates/Website_NewHostingPlan_SQL_NewDB-Default.json
Does anyone tried this before or know how to do this?

From the documentation, we could know if web app need Virtual application setting to be configured for web app, we will not be able to on board the application.

In my view, if you on board these application individually, it may not enable us to bundle multi individual applications to make them link with each other. You could contact with Azure marketplace support team.

In the link you posted, we could find that it is an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template that is used to define resources you want to deploy. This article explained about the Azure Resource Manager template, please refer to it.
I am trying to use ABCpdf .NET with Azure App Service and getting the following error when generating a PDF.
Unable to render HTML. Failed to configure IE 9 or above for the MSHtml engine:
Access denied while writing to the registry.
For IIS applications, please enable "Load User Profile" or
consult MSHtmlBootstrap in the documentation.
Usually in a VM I would set Load User Profile to True and it works but in Azure App Service, I do not have access to IIS Application Pool configuration.
According to the developer of ABCpdf, it should work with Azure websites.

Windows Azure Web Sites
WAWS sites operate as 32-bit processes in a multi-tenanted environment. In order to isolate one site from another WAWS is locked down to prevent inter-process communication. While you may find ABCpdf (32-bit) will install to WAWS, we expect the functionality will be diminished.
You cannot modify the registry with Azure Web Apps (formerly Web Sites). So, you're getting an error because the app cannot register itself. Being a multi-tenant service, you are not allowed to make registry modifications.
You need to go back and look at that page again, where they suggest using a VM or a web/worker role (both of which do allow for registry modification).
Even though this is a few years old it's the top StackOverflow question for "ABCpdf App Service" so it seems pertinent add an updated answer.
As of version 12.1 ABCpdf.NET includes the ABCWebKit HTML rendering engine based on WkHTMLToPdf 0.12.6 (Qt patched version).
Although limited compared to the default ABCChrome engine, it will enable rendering in a 64-bit Azure App Service on Windows using Basic App Service plans B1 and above.
NB: it will not work on any of the free App Service plans, or on 32-bit instances.
