We have completed the rollout for .NET 9 GA support on Azure App Service.

Like in previous years we are using the App Service Early Access feature to enable day-0 support on the platform across all public regions on Azure App Service for Windows. The early access release will be followed by additional deployments to fully integrate the new bits across our fleet, expecting to be fully done by the end of the week.

On Azure App Service for Linux, .NET 9 GA will be fully integrated on day-0 across all public regions without any additional deployments.

If you already have an app targeting an earlier preview of .NET 9.0 on the platform for App Service for Windows, you would need to redeploy the application after updating your runtimeconfig.json to use .NET 9.0.0.

For Azure App Service for Linux, if you already have an app targeting an earlier preview of .NET 9.0 on the platform, there is no need to take action as the new runtime will be picked up on the next application restart once the update is available for your app. You can trigger this manually by stopping and starting your app.

Self-contained .NET apps will not be auto-updated since they have no dependency on the runtime provided by App Service.

Azure Functions and Azure Static Webapps are also enabling .NET 9 workloads across their scenarios.

    .NET 9.0 SDK is still not available on Azure DevOps Pipelines yet, isn't it.

    I upgraded my app to .NET 9 and it builds/completes CI/CD fine and deploys to Azure, but the app just hangs after starting up, haven't been able to figure out what's up with it yet, but did follow the checklist MS published. Guess I might wait a bit to upgrade lol.

    UPDATE: Ended up being in EF Core 9, there were a TON of breaking changes. Still sorting through it, but at least I know where it's going south =D hope this helps someone else.

    Not sure anyone here will no this.

    I have a Blazor app that I just updated to net9.0.  My DotNet Publish step is taking twice as long to run.  Any ideas why that might be the case?
