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: mcp_azure_mcp_subscription_list, mcp_azure_mcp_group_list, mcp_azure_mcp_appservice, mcp_azure_mcp_azd (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 §1.
2. Detect framework (advisory, never blocks). detect.md.
3. Choose path — azure.yaml host: appservice → deploy-azd.md; else 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. 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.
6. Set SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT=true.
7. Deploy — or .
