Talk about the new things in application services

In order to release new features and improve Linux and Windows, the Azure App Service team has put in a lot of effort. I am very happy that we have seen the official version of Windows Containers, which can be applied to the App Service environment v3. In addition, the Azure Monitor Logs integration for Linux and Windows customers is officially released!

Officially released

Windows Containers on ASEv3

Windows Containers provide App Service customers with extended options to migrate web workloads to App Service, which may have more complex installation and runtime dependencies. For example, developers can use web applications running in Windows containers to render HTML and PDF pages. Developers can also perform tasks by customizing the Dockerfile of the container. All Windows containers running on App Service use Hyper-V isolation mode, so customers can rest assured that they can perform hardware-level isolation.

App Service and Azure Monitor Logs integration

The integration of App Service and Azure Monitor Logs is now officially released, and it can be used by Linux and Windows developers across the App Service platform.
For more details on setting up Azure Monitor Logs integration, see this article , which contains more information about the various text-based log types available on the App Service.

Other updates

New language version

.NET 6 on App Service is fully integrated with Application Insights and App Service's AppLogs (application logs), providing developers with powerful observability and logging capabilities across Linux and Windows.
Node 16 LTS will be available in Early Access soon and will fully support production workloads. Python 3.9 will soon become a fully built-in language stack, and the cold start time will be improved.

New diagnostic tool for Linux App Service

App Service adds new tools for .NET developers on Linux to collect .NET Profiler traces and memory dumps. Profiler tracing helps identify application failures and slow requests, and memory dumps collect a lot of information for deeper debugging and analysis.

Easier to create web application + database

The web application creation experience is updated. Developers only need to provide a few pieces of information (web application name and language), and the platform will automatically suggest a matching database engine. Then you only need to name the database server, and the platform will take care of everything else.

Automatically migrate web applications to Azure App Service

App Service Migration Assistant has also been updated accordingly to support the migration of Windows and Linux-based Apache Tomcat applications to App Service. Customers can also choose the containerization route, using Azure Migrate App Containerization Tool to migrate ASP.NET applications to Windows containers, and to migrate Apache Tomcat applications to containers running on Linux App Service.
