Other changes coming to Azure App Service on Azure Stack include improvements to Admin and Functions portals, .NET Core 2.0 support and general fixes. Regarding support for highly available deployments, Microsoft explains workloads can now be deployed across fault domains. “Therefore App Service infrastructure is able to be fault tolerant as it will be deployed across fault domains. By default all new deployments of Azure App Service will have this capability however for deployments completed prior to Azure Stack 1802 update being applied refer to the App Service Fault Domain documentation.” Deploying in an existing virtual network gives customers tools to communicate with SQL and File Service with App Service through a private network. Azure App Service allows developers to better manage their applications, including high productivity creations. With the built-in images, users can create cloud applications using ASP.NET Core, Node.js PHP, and Ruby. Users can just select the stack a web app needs and let Azure set up the environment and maintain the app. “If you’re building cloud applications with Microsoft Azure, things just got a whole lot better. Now, no matter where you are, you can monitor all of your web, mobile, and API apps running on Azure App Service.
