+<p>Within a App Service app, the version of PHP runtime used to run application/ site code is configurable.</p>
+<p>Overtime, a specific version of PHP may become outdated and no longer supported by Microsoft in Azure App Service.
+This can lead to security vulnerabilities or are simply not able to use the latest security features.</p>
+<p>PHP 8.0 and 8.1 are approaching end of support.</p>
 <h2 id="recommendation">Recommendation<a class="headerlink" href="#recommendation" title="Permanent link">#</a></h2>

This directory is the root for your repository or the current working path by default.   On case-sensitive file systems such as Linux, this directory name is case-sensitive.   See Storing and naming rules for more information.</li> <li>Check file name suffix \u2014 PSRule only looks for files with the <code>.Rule.ps1</code>, <code>.Rule.yaml</code>, or <code>.Rule.jsonc</code> suffix.   On case-sensitive file systems such as Linux, this file suffix is case-sensitive.   See Storing and naming rules for more information.</li> <li>Check binding configuration \u2014 PSRule uses binding to work out which property to use for a resource type.   To be able to use the <code>-Type</code> parameter or <code>type</code> properties in rules definitions, binding must be set.   This is automatically configured for PSRule for Azure, however must be set in <code>ps-rule.yaml</code> for custom rules.   See binding type for more information.</li> <li>Check modules \u2014 PSRule for Azure is responsible for expanding Azure resources from Infrastructure as Code.   Expansion occurs automatically in memory when enabled.   For this to work, the module <code>PSRule.Rules.Azure</code> must be run with any custom rules.   See using templates and using Bicep source for details on how to enable expansion.</li> <li>Check include local option \u2014 When running PSRule for Azure with a baseline.   Baselines such as quarterly baselines may use filters to limit the rules that are included.   As a result, custom rules may not be included.   To include custom rules set the Rule.IncludeLocal option to <code>true</code>.

replicates the operating system disk for a virtual machine to Azure storage to avoid data loss if the VM needs to be relocated to another host. However, since containers aren't designed to have local state persisted, this behavior offers limited value while providing some drawbacks, including slower node provisioning and higher read/write latency.</p> <p>By contrast, ephemeral OS disks are stored only on the host machine, just like a temporary disk. This provides lower read/write latency, along with faster node scaling and cluster upgrades.</p> <p>Like the temporary disk, an ephemeral OS disk is included in the price of the virtual machine, so you incur no additional storage costs.</p> <p>NB: When a user does not explicitly request managed disks for the OS, AKS will default to ephemeral OS if possible for a given node pool configuration. The rule is therefore configured with <code>-Level Warning</code> as it can give inaccurate information.</p> <p>When using ephemeral OS, the OS disk must fit in the VM cache. The sizes for VM cache are available in the Azure documentation in parentheses next to IO throughput (\"cache size in GiB\").</p> <p>Examples:</p> <ul> <li>Using the AKS default VM size Standard_DS2_v2 with the default OS disk size of 100GB as an example, this VM size supports ephemeral OS but only has 86GB of cache size.   This configuration would default to managed disks if the user does not specify explicitly.   If a user explicitly requested ephemeral OS, they would receive a validation error.</li> <li>If a user requests the same Standard_DS2_v2 with a 60GB OS disk, this configuration would default to ephemeral OS: the requested size of 60GB is smaller than the maximum cache size of 86GB.</li>

The Standard tier SKU automatically scales out based on the load.</li> <li>The Free tier SKU is recommended only for cost-sensitive non-production workloads with 10 or fewer agent nodes. The Standard tier SKU configures more resources for the control plane and will dynamically scale to handle the request load from more nodes.</li> <li>AKS recommends the use of the Standard tier for production workloads to ensure availability of control plane components.

To avoid service disruption, migrate to App Service Environment version 3 (ASEv3). App Service Environment v3 has advantages and feature differences that provide enhanced support for your workloads and can reduce overall costs.</p> <p>App Service Environment v3 differs from earlier versions in the following ways:</p> <ul> <li>There are no networking dependencies on the customer's virtual network. You can secure all inbound and outbound traffic and route outbound traffic as you want.</li> <li>You can deploy an App Service Environment v3 that's enabled for zone redundancy. You set zone redundancy only during creation and only in regions where all App Service Environment v3 dependencies are zone redundant. In this case, each App Service Plan on the App Service Environment will need to have a minimum of three instances so that they can be spread across zones. For more information, see Migrate App Service Environment to availability zone support.</li> <li>You can deploy an App Service Environment v3 on a dedicated host group. Host group deployments aren't zone redundant.</li> <li>Scaling is much faster than with an App Service Environment v2. Although scaling still isn't immediate, as in the multi-tenant service, it's a lot faster.</li> <li>Front-end scaling adjustments are no longer required. App Service Environment v3 front ends automatically scale to meet your needs and are deployed on better hosts.</li> <li>Scaling no longer blocks other scale operations within the App Service Environment v3. Only one scale operation can be in effect for a combination of OS and size. For example, while your Windows small App Service plan is scaling, you could kick off a scale operation to run at the same time on a Windows medium or anything else other than Windows small.</li> <li>You can reach apps in an internal-VIP App Service Environment v3 across global peering. Such access wasn't possible in earlier versions.</li> </ul> <p>A few features that were available in earlier versions of App Service Environment aren't available in App Service Environment v3. For example, you can no longer do the following:</p> <ul> <li>Monitor your traffic with Network Watcher or network security group (NSG) flow logs.</li> <li>Perform a backup and restore operation on a storage account behind a firewall.</li> </ul>","tags":["Azure.ASE.MigrateV3","AZR-000319"]},{"location":"en/rules/Azure.ASE.MigrateV3/#recommendation","title":"Recommendation","text":"<p>Classic App

This process continues until the entire file gets downloaded (if requested) or the client closes the connection.</p> <p>For more information on the byte-range request, read RFC 7233. Front Door caches any chunks as they're received so the entire file doesn't need to be cached on the Front Door cache. Ensuing requests for the file or byte ranges are served from the cache.

replicates the operating system disk for a virtual machine to Azure storage to avoid data loss if the VM needs to be relocated to another host. However, since containers aren't designed to have local state persisted, this behavior offers limited value while providing some drawbacks, including slower node provisioning and higher read/write latency.</p> <p>By contrast, ephemeral OS disks are stored only on the host machine, just like a temporary disk. This provides lower read/write latency, along with faster node scaling and cluster upgrades.</p> <p>Like the temporary disk, an ephemeral OS disk is included in the price of the virtual machine, so you incur no additional storage costs.</p> <p>NB: When a user does not explicitly request managed disks for the OS, AKS will default to ephemeral OS if possible for a given node pool configuration. The rule is therefore configured with <code>-Level Warning</code> as it can give inaccurate information.</p> <p>When using ephemeral OS, the OS disk must fit in the VM cache. The sizes for VM cache are available in the Azure documentation in parentheses next to IO throughput (\"cache size in GiB\").</p> <p>Examples:</p> <ul> <li>Using the AKS default VM size Standard_DS2_v2 with the default OS disk size of 100GB as an example, this VM size supports ephemeral OS but only has 86GB of cache size.   This configuration would default to managed disks if the user does not specify explicitly.   If a user explicitly requested ephemeral OS, they would receive a validation error.</li> <li>If a user requests the same Standard_DS2_v2 with a 60GB OS disk, this configuration would default to ephemeral OS: the requested size of 60GB is smaller than the maximum cache size of 86GB.</li>

Understanding that adding new nodes to a node pool can take time.</p> <p>For example, in a three-node node pool:</p> <ul> <li>If one node fails ~33% capacity is lost until a new node is created to replace the failed node.</li> <li>The pods running on the failed node may be rescheduled to run on the remaining two nodes if there is enough capacity.   However, there is a number of factors that affect which pods will be scheduled to run on the two remaining nodes.</li> </ul> <p>For example, in a 2x two-node node pool:</p> <ul> <li>If 2x two node pools are deployed both with availability zones <code>1</code>, <code>2</code>.   AKS will automatically spread the nodes across the two availability zones as it scales out.</li> <li>If availability zone <code>1</code> fails, 50% capacity on the remaining nodes in availability zone <code>2</code> will continue to run pods.</li> <li>Pods running on the failed nodes in availability zone <code>1</code> will be rescheduled to run pending enough capacity.</li> </ul>","tags":["Azure.AKS.MinNodeCount","AZR-000024"]},{"location":"en/rules/Azure.AKS.MinNodeCount/#recommendation","title":"Recommendation","text":"<p>Consider configuring AKS clusters with at least three (3) agent nodes in system node pools.</p>","tags":["Azure.AKS.MinNodeCount","AZR-000024"]},{"location":"en/rules/Azure.AKS.MinNodeCount/#examples","title":"Examples","text":"","tags":["Azure.AKS.MinNodeCount","AZR-000024"]},{"location":"en/rules/Azure.AKS.MinNodeCount/#configure-with-azure-template","title":"Configure with Azure template","text":"<p>To deploy AKS clusters that pass this rule:</p> <p>To deploy AKS clusters that pass this rule:</p> <ul> <li>For a single system mode node pool <code>properties.agentPoolProfiles</code>:<ul> <li>Set the <code>minCount</code> property to at least <code>3</code> for node pools with auto-scale.

To avoid service disruption, migrate to App Service Environment version 3 (ASEv3). App Service Environment v3 has advantages and feature differences that provide enhanced support for your workloads and can reduce overall costs.</p> <p>App Service Environment v3 differs from earlier versions in the following ways:</p> <ul> <li>There are no networking dependencies on the customer's virtual network. You can secure all inbound and outbound traffic and route outbound traffic as you want.</li> <li>You can deploy an App Service Environment v3 that's enabled for zone redundancy. You set zone redundancy only during creation and only in regions where all App Service Environment v3 dependencies are zone redundant. In this case, each App Service Plan on the App Service Environment will need to have a minimum of three instances so that they can be spread across zones. For more information, see Migrate App Service Environment to availability zone support.</li> <li>You can deploy an App Service Environment v3 on a dedicated host group. Host group deployments aren't zone redundant.</li> <li>Scaling is much faster than with an App Service Environment v2. Although scaling still isn't immediate, as in the multi-tenant service, it's a lot faster.</li> <li>Front-end scaling adjustments are no longer required. App Service Environment v3 front ends automatically scale to meet your needs and are deployed on better hosts.</li> <li>Scaling no longer blocks other scale operations within the App Service Environment v3. Only one scale operation can be in effect for a combination of OS and size. For example, while your Windows small App Service plan is scaling, you could kick off a scale operation to run at the same time on a Windows medium or anything else other than Windows small.</li> <li>You can reach apps in an internal-VIP App Service Environment v3 across global peering. Such access wasn't possible in earlier versions.</li> </ul> <p>A few features that were available in earlier versions of App Service Environment aren't available in App Service Environment v3. For example, you can no longer do the following:</p> <ul> <li>Monitor your traffic with Network Watcher or network security group (NSG) flow logs.</li> <li>Perform a backup and restore operation on a storage account behind a firewall.</li> </ul>","tags":["Azure.ASE.MigrateV3","AZR-000319"]},{"location":"en/rules/Azure.ASE.MigrateV3/#recommendation","title":"Recommendation","text":"<p>Classic App

This process continues until the entire file gets downloaded (if requested) or the client closes the connection.</p> <p>For more information on the byte-range request, read RFC 7233. Front Door caches any chunks as they're received so the entire file doesn't need to be cached on the Front Door cache. Ensuing requests for the file or byte ranges are served from the cache.
