Can I host asp.net webform web application on services fabric? - azure

I am researching about azure service fabric and found nothing about how to host asp.net webform web application on service fabric? My application is built on asp.net version 4 and it is a monolithic app not microdevices based. Is it possible to host on service fabric?

ASP.NET webforms uses the System.Web assembly which is coupled to IIS. Service fabric uses OWIN for self-hosting the ASP.NET web apps. Thus, it is not possible to host asp.net webforms inside service fabric.

Azure App Service hosting internal technology

When I host a .NET Core application in Azure App Service, it takes a web.config custom headers configuration, same as in IIS.
Which technology is used in the Azure App Service to host a .NET Core web application?
Thank you Lex Li for your suggestion posting it as answer to help other community members .
"Azure app service is just a name.
you can either host your web app on Windows (IIS) or Linux or on Docker, as you said web.config takes effect, you were using the Windows based App Service hosting plan."
According to that when we host our application in Azure app service there will be no change in our application .

Hosting legacy ASP.NET (not ASP.NET Core) in ServiceFabric

I am looking for the options to host existing ASP.NET Framework (not .NET Core, and not ASP.NET Core) applications in ServiceFabric hosted on-premise.
We host such legacy applications in IIS, as is the common practice I believe, and we are considering migrating them to an on-prem ServiceFabric cluster without (or at least, as little as possible) modifications.
I see that Visual Studio 2017 SF project templates do not have the "old ASP.NET", which makes me think that using old ASP.NET isn't preferred, if supported at all. I can understand that.
I understand that it is possible to deploy the application in a container with IIS, e.g. with Windows IIS.
Are there other possibilities?
I've been doing self-hosted ASP.Net WebAPI on Service Fabric for three years already. They did remove the .NET Framework WebAPI template when you create a Service Fabric App, but yes, you can still run a Self-hosted .Net Framework API on Service Fabric.
I still have my old code before so I pretty much do same thing over and over. This tutorial would help a lot. it's the basics of doing a self-hosted WebAPI, hosting it on HTTPS is another thing after that.

Is Application Insights on by default for .NET Core services and sites?

If I build a new .NET Core JSON web service or an MVC web site and host it on premice, would it send any information to Microsoft?
No, it wouldn't send any information until you add Application Insights to your project.

Can Web application hosted on IIS still use Azure App Fabric

I hosted web app into IIS? Can I still use Azure App Fabric caching services for session? All the samples that I see says first I have to create a web role and then configure app fabric caching service for session mgmt. Is there a way I can configure app fabric caching service for regular web applications?
Thanks
Yes, you can use app fabric to monitor wcf and wf workflows and for caching:

authenticate MVC4 mobile web application with mobile azure service

How to authenticate MVC4 mobile web application with mobile azure service?
I would like to authenticate the Live Id from MVC app, and I would like to use mobile azure service as the back end, so that it can share same service with our windows 8 apps.
As of now Azure Mobile Services (a.k.a. ZUMO) is only supported for Windows 8 however you sure can use it with other applications as well and mostly WebAPI is the best option to tie with your MVC application mainly while using Web API as a proxy.
You can use the the article Using Azure Mobile Services in your web apps through ASP.NET Web API, in your MVC4 application to authenticate your application with Mobile Azure Services.
