A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.

I have 3 Resources Group Environments with the names Dev01, Dev02, and Dev03. Each Resources Group have 4 App Service Plan and all of them are located in 1 App Service Environment. SQL Server located on Dev01. Web App Dev02 and Dev03 will call to SQL Server on Dev01.

The issue happened on Dev03 ENV, when I use the web app on Dev03 it's working as well but issues start when Function app connects to SQL.

  1. I had open Kudu run cmd tpcping aaaaaaaa.database.windows.net,1433 it's still working not time out.
  2. I tried to check on Dev02 at that time it's still ok no issue.
  3. I compared infrastructure Dev02 & Dev03 and didn't see differences between them because they use the same App Service Environment.
  4. I restart Function App but does not work.
  5. All Web Apps use Managed Identity connect to SQL so I don't think issue is from authen because Web Apps Dev03 can connect and write data in SQL

Anyone has been faced with that issue, I have no idea about this case please help me.

Thanks a lot!
