@nholuongut I've updated your comment to format the code and redact a value that appears to be a secret. If it's indeed a secret, you should rotate it as you've shared it on a public repo.

Do you want to use a container app or a job? They are different resources. Your bicep seems to contain properties from both resources.

See the Bicep reference here:

• App
• Job

Hello @anthonychu anthonychu

Thanks for your support.

Of course I have referred to that document as you sent.

I mean I have used .bicep to create App container and it was successful (I am using azure devops pipeline). And now I want to use the schedule job need to call the URL (https://abc.com/cron/SZDNJkX5lXX297gaphs1BNMG7TUbmck0Fxg-WdGTFW1leHD-oDKHO6BCHvz1qxHFyd4sa5ThJtQ) every minute Runtime from 07:00 - 19:00 time zone gmt +7 from monday to friday on week

And I have tried many of those case trucows but still not. Here is my latest code example. resource cronJob 'Microsoft.Web/containerApps@2024-03-01' = { name: '${containerAppName}cronjob' location: location tags: tags identity: { type: 'SystemAssigned' } properties: { configuration: { registries: [ { server: acrServer identity: managedId } ] activeRevisionsMode: 'Single' secrets: [ { name: 'webhook-url' value: webhookUrl } ] } environmentId: environment.outputs.containerEnvId template: { containers: [ { image: intoImage name: 'cron-container' env: [ { name: 'WEBHOOK_URL' secretRef: 'webhook-url' } ] command: [ '/bin/sh' ] args: [ '-c', 'curl -X POST $WEBHOOK_URL' ] resources: { cpu: '0.5' memoryInGb: '0.5' } } ] scale: { minReplicas: 0 maxReplicas: 1 } scheduleTriggerConfig: { cronExpression: '/1 7-19 * 1-5' parallelism: 1 replicaCompletionCount: 1 } timeZone: scheduleTimeZone } } }

[nholuongut]

@anthonychu The idea as I understand it is to use container-apps-jobs to run cronJob for container app and the requirement for this cronJob is: => the schedule job need to call the URL (https://abc.com/cron/SZDNJkX5lXX297gaphs1BNMG7TUbmck0Fxg-WdGTFW1leHD-oDKHO6BCHvz1qxHFyd4sa5ThJtQ) every minute Runtime from 07:00 - 19:00 time zone gmt +7 from monday to friday on week

[nholuongut]

Hello @anthonychu Here you are?

[anthonychu]

Sounds like you want to use jobs. Your current Bicep is for a container app (Microsoft.App/containerApps@2024-03-01). It also contains unsupported properties such as timeZone (cron expressions in scheduled Container Apps jobs are in UTC only). Please see this documentation for the correct resource type and properties: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.app/jobs?pivots=deployment-language-bicep

Here's an example of a job that does what you want:

param location string = 'westus'
param managedEnvironmentName string = 'my-managed-environment'
param logAnalyticsWorkspaceName string = 'my-log-analytics-workspace'
param jobName string = 'my-job'

resource logAnalyticsWorkspace 'Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces@2023-09-01' = {
  name: logAnalyticsWorkspaceName
  location: location
  properties: any({
    retentionInDays: 30
    features: {
      searchVersion: 1
    }
    sku: {
      name: 'PerGB2018'
    }
  })
}

resource env 'Microsoft.App/managedEnvironments@2024-03-01' = {
  name: managedEnvironmentName
  location: location
  properties: {
    appLogsConfiguration: {
      destination: 'log-analytics'
      logAnalyticsConfiguration: {
        customerId: logAnalyticsWorkspace.properties.customerId
        sharedKey: logAnalyticsWorkspace.listKeys().primarySharedKey
      }
    }
  }
}

resource job 'Microsoft.App/jobs@2024-03-01' = {
  name: jobName
  location: location
  properties: {
    environmentId: env.id
    configuration: {
      replicaTimeout: 120
      triggerType: 'Schedule'
      scheduleTriggerConfig: {
        cronExpression: '*/1 7-19 * * 1-5'
      }
    }
    template: {
      containers: [
        {
          name: 'my-container'
          image: 'curlimages/curl:latest'
          resources: {
            cpu: json('0.25')
            memory: '0.5Gi'
          }
          args: [
            '-v'
            'https://www.azure.com'
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Hi @anthonychu

This is latest code with my cron Job but still not work. Hazz

cronjonapp.parameters.json cronjonapp.json

[anthonychu]

What's the error? Bicep looks okay. Your job name must be all lowercase characters. You should see this error in your deployment:

Invalid ContainerAppsJob name 'cronJob-Dev'. A name must consist of lower case alphanumeric characters or '-', start with an alphabetic character, and end with an alphanumeric character and cannot have '--'. The length must not be more than 32 characters. (Code: ContainerAppInvalidName)

[nholuongut]

I have updated with cron-dev but still can't create after deployed. hazz ![Uploading Screen Shot 2024-08-21 at 09.38.34.png…]()

@nholuongut, thank you for reaching out. Please don't post secrets on Github. There is a library of templates available under https://azure.github.io/awesome-azd and the schema is available here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.app/jobs?pivots=deployment-language-bicep

We have to delete this issue now due to the exposed secrets.
