Support for start/stop Azure functions hosted on Azure Containers Apps

[benoitsautierecellenza]

While performing update of environment variables on Azure function hosted on Azure Container Apps Azure Activity log report :

• Stop Web App report This is currently not supported.
• Update web sites config report report conflict Cannot modify this site because another operation is in progress.
• UpdateWebSite reported a failed state even if operation is successfull

Is there an alternate way to perform Environment variables on Azure Function hosted on Azure Container Apps.

Can you confirm which function appsettings are you planning to update?

Can you please provide use-case scenario details of start/stop? We are actively looking into this

Hi,

I had a set of Azure functions working on consumption / premium plan that I moved to Azure Container Apps. Because I needed to start and stop my application that rely on multiple functions, I had a Github Action Workflow that organize the start/ stop of each function using Update-AzFunctionAppSetting (Az.Functions module version 4.0.7). By managing environments variables just like “AzureWebJobs.Function_Name.Disabled”. This approach was working before Container Apps but not now. When performing such operation I faced to multiple errors such as one mentioned in my issue.

At the beginning, I was thinking that I needed to update Az.Functions module to latest version but I discovered those entries as illustrated bellow :

May I know which trigger/binding are you using? Why do you need to start , stop these function apps?
