Python on Azure App Service — Code Deploy

Deploys Python (Flask, Django, FastAPI, generic) code to Azure App Service Linux (P0v3, Python 3.14). Creates RG + Plan + Web App if missing. Hand off to azure-prepare for VNet, Key Vault, databases, or IaC.

MCP tools used: mcpazuremcpsubscriptionlist, mcpazuremcpgrouplist, mcpazuremcpappservice, mcpazuremcpazd (when azure.yaml is present).

Workflow

  1. Resolve context — smart defaults, minimal prompts. Only the app name is interactive; RG (<app>-rg), Plan (<app>-plan), region (current az default or eastus2), subscription are derived. [create-app.md](references/create-app.md) §1.
  2. Detect framework (advisory, never blocks). [detect.md](references/detect.md).
  3. Choose path — azure.yaml host: appservice → [deploy-azd.md](references/deploy-azd.md); else [deploy-azcli.md](references/deploy-azcli.md).
  4. Ensure RG → Plan (P0v3 --is-linux) → Web App (--runtime "PYTHON:3.14") exist. On transient ARM errors, follow [transient-retry.md](references/transient-retry.md). [create-app.md](references/create-app.md).
  5. Set startup — Flask/Django: none (Oryx auto-detects). FastAPI: always python -m uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0. Other: warn. [startup-commands.md](references/startup-commands.md).
  6. Set SCMDOBUILDDURINGDEPLOYMENT=true.
  7. Deploy — azd deploy or az webapp deploy --type zip --track-status false.
  8. STOP. Print the post-deploy message ([post-deploy-message.md](references/post-deploy-message.md)) and end the turn.

Hard rules

  • ⛔ NO POST-DEPLOY VERIFICATION — after deploy returns, do not run az webapp log tail, curl, Invoke-WebRequest, or any health probe. App Service needs 2–3 min to warm; a quiet log or early 5xx is not failure.
  • ⛔ SHELL SAFETY — for --runtime always use "PYTHON:3.14" (colon). Never "PYTHON|3.14" (pipe is a shell operator).
  • ⛔ NEVER az webapp up — deprecated. Use Step 7 commands.
  • ✅ URL FORMAT — present endpoints as https://... URLs.

Error Handling

See [errors.md](references/errors.md) for the full symptom → cause → fix matrix. Quick triage: missing plan/app → re-run Step 4; container ping timeout on 8000 → fix startup (Step 5); ModuleNotFoundError after deploy → ensure Step 6 ran, redeploy.
