  • Artikkeli

These release notes describe the improvements and fixes in Azure App Service on Azure Stack Hub 24R1 release notes and any known issues. Known issues are divided into issues directly related to the deployment, update process, and issues with the build (post-installation).

Important

Update Azure Stack Hub to a supported version (or deploy the latest Azure Stack Development Kit) if necessary, before deploying or updating the App Service resource provider (RP). Be sure to read the RP release notes to learn about new functionality, fixes, and any known issues that could affect your deployment.

Supported Minimum Azure Stack Hub version App Service RP version
2311 and later 24R1 Installer (release notes)

Build reference

The App Service on Azure Stack Hub 24R1 build number is 102.0.2.5

What's new?

Azure App Service on Azure Stack Hub 24 R1 brings new updates to Azure Stack Hub.

Prerequisites

Refer to the Before You Get Started documentation before beginning deployment.

Before you begin the upgrade of Azure App Service on Azure Stack to 24R1:

  • Ensure your Azure Stack Hub is updated to 1.2311.1.22 or later.

  • Ensure all roles are Ready in the Azure App Service Administration in the Azure Stack Hub Admin Portal.

  • Backup App Service Secrets using the App Service Administration in the Azure Stack Hub Admin Portal.

  • Back up the App Service and SQL Server Master Databases:

    • AppService_Hosting;
    • AppService_Metering;
    • Master

  • Back up the Tenant App content file share.

    Important

    Cloud operators are responsible for the maintenance and operation of the File Server and SQL Server. The resource provider does not manage these resources. The cloud operator is responsible for backing up the App Service databases and tenant content file share.

  • Syndicate the Custom Script Extension version 1.9.3 from the Marketplace.

Review the known issues for update and take any action prescribed.

Post-deployment steps

Important

If you have provided the App Service resource provider with a SQL Always On Instance you MUST add the appservice_hosting and appservice_metering databases to an availability group and synchronize the databases to prevent any loss of service in the event of a database failover.

Known issues (update)

  • In situations where a customer converted the appservice_hosting and appservice_metering databases to contained database, upgrade may fail if logins weren't successfully migrated to contained users.

Customers that converted the appservice_hosting and appservice_metering databases to contained database post deployment, and didn't successfully migrate the database logins to contained users, may experience upgrade failures.

Customers must execute the following script against the SQL Server hosting appservice_hosting and appservice_metering before upgrading your Azure App Service on Azure Stack Hub installation to 2020 Q3. This script is non-destructive and will not cause downtime.

This script must be run under the following conditions:

  • By a user that has the system administrator privilege, for example the SQL SA (System Administrator) Account;

  • If using SQL Always on, ensure the script is run from the SQL instance that contains all App Service logins in the form:

    • appservice_hosting_FileServer
    • appservice_hosting_HostingAdmin
    • appservice_hosting_LoadBalancer
    • appservice_hosting_Operations
    • appservice_hosting_Publisher
    • appservice_hosting_SecurePublisher
    • appservice_hosting_WebWorkerManager
    • appservice_metering_Common
    • appservice_metering_Operations
    • All WebWorker logins - which are in the form WebWorker_<instance ip address>

Known issues (post-installation)

  • Workers are unable to reach file server when App Service is deployed in an existing virtual network, and the file server is only available on the private network, as called out in the Azure App Service on Azure Stack deployment documentation.

    If you chose to deploy into an existing virtual network and an internal IP address to connect to your file server, you must add an outbound security rule, enabling SMB (Server Message Block) traffic between the worker subnet and the file server. Go to the WorkersNsg in the Admin Portal and add an outbound security rule with the following properties:

    • Source: Any
    • Source port range: *
    • Destination: IP Addresses
    • Destination IP address range: Range of IPs for your file server
    • Destination port range: 445
    • Protocol: TCP
    • Action: Allow
    • Priority: 700
    • Name: Outbound_Allow_SMB445

  • To remove latency when workers are communicating with the file server, we also advise adding the following rule to the Worker NSG (Network Security Group) to allow outbound LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) and Kerberos traffic to your Active Directory Controllers when securing the file server using Active Directory. For example, if you have used the Quickstart template to deploy a HA File Server and SQL Server.

    Go to the WorkersNsg in the Admin Portal and add an outbound security rule with the following properties:

    • Source: Any
    • Source port range: *
    • Destination: IP Addresses
    • Destination IP address range: Range of IPs for your AD Servers, for example with the Quickstart template 10.0.0.100, 10.0.0.101
    • Destination port range: 389,88
    • Protocol: Any
    • Action: Allow
    • Priority: 710
    • Name: Outbound_Allow_LDAP_and_Kerberos_to_Domain_Controllers

Known issues for Cloud Admins operating Azure App Service on Azure Stack

  • Custom domains aren't supported in disconnected environments.

    App Service performs domain ownership verification against public DNS (Domain Name System) endpoints. As a result, custom domains aren't supported in disconnected scenarios.

  • Virtual Network integration for Web and Function Apps isn't supported.

    The ability to add virtual network integration to Web and Function apps shows in the Azure Stack Hub portal and if a tenant attempts to configure, they receive an internal server error. This feature isn't supported in Azure App Service on Azure Stack Hub.
