Azure App Service on Linux

You can choose to host a web app on Linux for supported application stacks.

You can run custom Linux containers using Web App for Containers.

Natively, App Service on Linux supports several frameworks, such as:

• .NET
• NodeJs
• Java
• Go
• Python
• PHP
• Ruby

If a framework is missing, you can deploy a custom container.

To see which are the supported versions, you can run this command:

[[azure-app-service-scripts#List the available runtimes]]

Known Limitations

App Service on Linux isn't supported on Shared pricing tier.

When deployed to built-in images, your code and content are allocated a storage volume for web content, backed by Azure Storage. The disk latency of this volume is higher and more variable than the latency of the container filesystem. Apps that require heavy read-only access to content files may benefit from the custom container option, which places files in the container filesystem instead of on the content volume.
