GitHub Actions for Azure (official examples): https://github.com/Azure/actions-workflow-samples

appcontent.yml - Used to deploy my app content to the Azure App Service. Using this sample provided by Microsoft, with very minor modifications.

It's using GitHub Secrets. This guide helps: https://github.com/Azure/actions-workflow-samples/blob/master/assets/create-secrets-for-GitHub-workflows.md

For this exercise we need a personal access token from github. To ensure that the action has access to the GitHub token which you, by the way, should never expose to the public - we will place it in the secrets of the repo.

First we'll need to make some repo secrets. Here's a nice guide from Azure explaining how to do just that. It isn't difficult at all.

Add Actions secrets for the FTPS credentials. In our example the secret names are WP_USER and WP_PASSWORD.

Yep. For the projects I’ve worked on, the Azure Functions for scheduling were in their own `functions` folder at the root of the repository. Upon successful deployment of the main app, we’d then deploy the functions. Aside from that deployment happening after the main app’s, we use the same deployment configuration as the official example for GitHub Actions with Python functions: https://github.com/Azure/actions-workflow-samples/blob/master/FunctionApp/linux-python-functionapp-on-azure.yml.

We have 1 user that we use for deployment. We keep the username and password of this user in a Secret (all platforms support some form of secrets, here is some docs on Github Actions specifically).

I followed the official documentation (Link) and used the pre-defined template and it worked out of the box.

Official doc on runbook limitations: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/main/includes/azure-automation-service-limits.md

I dont think that works:

    > git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs

Does anyone have any idea why this is? I found a github issue that basically describes the issue as well but there is no satisfying solution. Can you really not use native azure monitoring solutions if you migrate your VMs to azure? That seems hard to believe and I hope I'm just missing something. I'm very thankful for any advice at this point.

It appears that there is a 512kb payload limit with runbook webhooks, which I can only find mention of on this git file:https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/main/includes/azure-automation-service-limits.mdThe data I was including in the web activity body appears to be just under this limit and would trigger the runbook without issue. But with the extra data webhook activities include in the body it puts it over the limit and never triggers it. Unfortunately Data Factory doesn't handle this situation properly and the activity runs indefinitely until you cancel it (despite the timeout configured).The work around for me was to add a foreach activity and put the webhook activity inside of that.
