How to access Kudu Console for an WebApp hosted in VNET

Question

We have an App Service with VNET Integration. Therefore the Inbound IP Address is having a Private IP Address. For some troubleshooting purpose, I would like to access the Kudu Console of the App Service. In general, we access the Kudu console for troubleshooting purposes by reaching this URL [sitename].scm.azurewebsites.net but since we have the VNET Integration enabled the App is having a Private IP for Inbound. In this case, how do we access Kudu Console?

Hi @David Maryo ,

Thanks for reaching out to Q&A forum.

I understand that your web app has an inbound private endpoint and you are trying to access the Kudu site.

You will be able to access the private endpoint enabled kudu site by using a VM or Local machine that is a part of the vnet that is integrated with the private endpoint. If you have an Azure VM, you can integrate it with the same vnet (part of the private endpoint) and from that VM you can access the Kudu site. Another option is to have the local machine which has point to site/site to site VPN connection with the Vnet.

I hope this helps!
