App Services Configuration
Learn how to configure your Azure App Service to meet your application's needs. This guide covers various aspects of configuration, from application settings and connection strings to advanced networking and SSL/TLS settings.
General Configuration
App Settings and Connection Strings
Manage your application's configuration settings and connection strings through the Azure portal or programmatically. These settings are crucial for externalizing configuration and ensuring your application can adapt to different environments (development, staging, production).
App Settings: Key-value pairs that your application can read at runtime. These are typically used for non-sensitive configuration parameters.
Connection Strings: Store database connection details, API keys, and other sensitive information. Azure App Services provides secure mechanisms for managing these.

Deployment Slots
Deployment slots allow you to manage deployments and perform testing before swapping to production. You can create multiple slots (e.g., staging) and swap them with the production slot with zero downtime.
Learn more about Deployment Slots.
Platform Settings
Configure runtime versions, PHP versions, .NET versions, and other platform-specific settings. These settings affect how your application code is executed.
- Runtime stack versions
- Web server settings
- General settings (e.g., Always On)
Advanced Settings
Networking
Control network access to your App Service. Configure VNet integration, private endpoints, and access restrictions to secure your application.
SSL/TLS Settings
Secure your application with SSL/TLS certificates. You can upload your own certificates or use Azure's managed certificates for custom domains.
Authentication and Authorization
Configure built-in authentication providers (Azure AD, Google, Facebook, etc.) or implement your custom authentication flow.
Custom Domains
Map your custom domain names to your Azure App Service. This involves configuring DNS records and potentially binding an SSL/TLS certificate.
