Azure Web App Deployment Failed: 429 Throttling & Policy Errors (Student Subscription)
Hello, I am trying to complete a university lab requiring an Azure Web App (Python 3.9/3.10/3.11 / Linux) running on an App Service Plan to test autoscaling features. I am using an "Azure for Students" subscription. I am unable to deploy the resource regardless of the region I choose. Here is what I have tried: Region : France Central I get a Throttling error : "App Service Plan Create operation is throttled for subscription [My-Sub-ID]. Code: 429" Region : Switzerland North I get a Policy error : "Resource was disallowed by Azure Policy... The objective of this policy is to ensure that your subscription has full access to Azure services with optimal performance." Region : Canada Central / Switzerland North : I attempted to create a new Resource Group and App Service Plan in these regions, but I am still facing deployment failures or throttling issues. I simply need to deploy a Web App with a plan that supports Autoscale. Which region is currently open/unthrottled for Student Subscriptions to create an App Service Plan? Is there a specific workaround to bypass this 429 error for a lab environment? Thank you for your help.
Corrupted VT+ transaction files
We are a small accounting company using VT+ Transaction on a local drive synchronized with OneDrive for backup and file storage. A few days ago when we tried to open the application, we suddenly started receiving the following error messages: Run Time Error 0 and Run Time Error 440, and the program does not start. According to VT+ support the program files are corrupted and the data can only be restored up to the year 2022, as the more recent backups are also affected. Somehow the system is overriding our backups, which makes the latest ones unusable. Any advice what could cause that and how to resolve the issue. Thanks
Allow Pipelines to have Tags/Metadata like Azure Resources
We need the ability to add metadata to Azure DevOps Pipelines such as “Domain”, “Capability”, “Team”, “SRE Owner”, etc. This information needs to be available in the pipeline/ api response. It would also be useful to have the ability to filter/search by this in the UI, but that is not important for my immediate use case. Currently, to obtain this data, we are maintaining a separate reference table. It is not ideal.
Azure Devops Integration with Servicenow
Hi, I am integrating Azure Devops with ServiceNow. Is it possible to integrate Project Task (pm_project_task) in ServiceNow with Task in Azure Devops in Basic Project. As i am able to send the task from ADO to ServiceNow but not from ServiceNow to ADO. Any possible solution?
Advanced Container Apps Networking: VNet Integration and Centralized Firewall Traffic Logging
Azure community, I recently documented a networking scenario relevant to Azure Container Apps environments where you need to control and inspect application traffic using a third-party network virtual appliance. The article walks through a practical deployment pattern: • Integrate your Azure Container Apps environment with a Virtual Network. • Configure user-defined routes (UDRs) so that traffic from your container workloads is directed toward a firewall appliance before reaching external networks or backend services. • Verify actual traffic paths using firewall logs to confirm that routing policies are effective. This pattern is helpful for organizations that must enforce advanced filtering, logging, or compliance checks on container egress/ingress traffic, going beyond what native Azure networking controls provide. It also complements Azure Firewall and NSG controls by introducing a dedicated next-generation firewall within your VNet. If you’re working with network control, security perimeters, or hybrid network architectures involving containerized workloads on Azure, you might find it useful. Read the full article on my blog
Blank screen in "new" AI Foundry and unable to go back to "classic" view
Hi, I toggled on the "new" AI foundry experience. But it just gives me a blank page. I cannot disable it and go back to the old view though. When I go to https://ai.azure.com/ it takes me to the "nextgen" page (e.g. https://ai.azure.com/nextgen/?wsid=%2Fsubscriptions...) Removing "nextgen" from the URL just redirects me back to the "nextgen" version. This also happens to my colleague, and we can't use the Foundry. Can you help?
Unable to setup Solr on Linux WebApp
Hi there, I have trying to setup the Solr app on a Linux WebApp as a PaaS, but haven't gotten any success yet. There are many online discussions that talk about setting up the Solr on Windows WebApp, but not linux. Here is what I have tried so far: 1 - Added Web.conf in wwwroot - this is similar to setting it up on Windows WebApp, but this hasn't worked. 2 - Installing Solr as a service - I tried executing <solr_extraction_dir>/bin/install_solr_as_service.sh, but I get error that there is no user solr. 3 - Adding startup command "java -jar /home/site/wwwroot/server/start.jar" and I get following error. Usage: java -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar [options] [properties] [configs] java -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar --help # for more information 4 - Solr on port 80 - tried running Solr on port 80 using "solr start -p 80", but can't access the SOLR, using the webapp URL. Any help with steps would be appreciated.

Error on deployment on a CHE
I'm experiencing an error during the deployment of any package to a cloud-hosted environment. The error occurs specifically at step 11, 'Global Update script for service model: AOS Service,' and results in a failure to resume the deployment process. The issue happens on the DB sync, however if I tried to sync the DB from the visual studio it succeeded without any errors. And If I tried to restore another empty DB for example, the deployment will succeed. And if I tried to restore the DB on another CHE, the same issue happens. The issue is that we need this DB, because it is the Master configuration DB, so we cannot delete it. So my question is what is the best way to solve this issue and how can we know what is the issue with this DB? Thanks in advance.
Weird problem when comparing the answers from chat playground and answer from api
I'm running into a weird issue with Azure AI Foundry (gpt-4o-mini) and need help. I'm building a chatbot that classifies each user message into: follow-up to previous message repeat of an earlier message brand-new query The classification logic works perfectly in the Azure AI Foundry Chat Playground. But when I use the exact same prompt in Python via: AzureChatOpenAI() (LangChain) or the official Azure OpenAI code from "View Code" (client.chat.completions.create()) …I get totally different and often wrong results. I’ve already verified: same deployment name (gpt-4o-mini) same temperature / top_p / max_tokens same system and user messages even tried copy-pasting the full system prompt from the Playground But the API version still behaves very differently. It feels like Azure AI Foundry’s Chat Playground is using some kind of hidden system prompt, invisible scaffolding, or extra formatting that is NOT shown in the UI and NOT included in the “View Code” snippet. The Playground output is consistently more accurate than the raw API call. Question: Does the Chat Playground apply hidden instructions or pre-processing that we can’t see? And is there any way to: view those hidden prompts, or replicate Playground behavior exactly through the API or LangChain? If anyone has run into this or knows how to get identical behavior outside the Playground, I’d really appreciate the help.Seamless SSO According to MS Support
I am in the process of setting up a POC for AVD and followed all the instructions that I have found for enabling Seamless SSO for AVD. We are currently running in hybrid mode and I have created a server 2025 with latest patches. When I attempt to sign in via web or windows app, I signin to the web interface or the app and I am presented with the desktops. I launch a desktop and it prompts me for a user and pass (the user is pre-populated) My understanding is that this should not happen. It should seamlessly signin (This would cause issues with our users not using passwords) I contacted Microsoft support and they state that this is by design. They stated this is how it operates in their lab. Can someone clarify, if I sign into Windows app or the web, that my authentication should seamlessly sign me into the AVD server I have published? ThanksFrequent platform-initiated VM redeployments (v6) in North Europe – host OS / firmware issues
Hi everyone, We’ve been experiencing recurring platform-initiated redeployments on Azure VMs (v6 series) in the North Europe region and wanted to check if others are seeing something similar. Around two to three times per week, one of our virtual machines becomes unavailable and is automatically redeployed by the Azure platform. The Service Health notifications usually mention that the host OS became unresponsive and that there is a low-level issue between the host operating system and firmware. The VM is then started on a different host as part of the auto-recovery process. There is no corresponding public Azure Status incident for North Europe when this occurs. From the guest OS perspective, there are no warning signs beforehand such as high CPU or memory usage, kernel errors, or planned maintenance events. This behavior looks like a host or hardware stamp issue, but the frequency is concerning. Has anyone else running v6 virtual machines in North Europe observed similar unplanned redeployments? Has Microsoft shared any statements or acknowledgements regarding ongoing host or firmware stability issues for this region or SKU? If you worked with Azure Support on this, were you told this was cluster-specific or related to a particular hardware stamp? We are already engaging Azure Support, but I wanted to check whether this is an isolated case or something others are also encountering. Thanks in advance for any insights or shared experiences.Azure file sync, avoid duplicate files
Hello guys, I've a share with 2 server endpoint with Cloud Tiering enabled in Azure file sync environment, unfortunately on this share are created duplicate files with the name of the server endpoint so it means that the same file are opened by users on both endpoint. My question is if it's possibile to set priority on these endpoint so the users can connect only to the first endpoint server unless this is unavailable then the second endpoint can be use. Or there are other method to avoid this duplicated files? thanks
