Will Node.js 14 LTS be available as an App Service runtime when its active LTS period starts (October 27)?

Mike Valeriano 1

As title.

Our stack depends on ES Modules (Node.js 13+) and we would prefer not to use containers for deployment at this time.

So is it planned to be available? If not when active LTS starts, is there a date?

Thanks.

@Mike Valeriano , Thanks for posting this question.

I'm checking on this with our product engineering team internally and will get back to you shortly.

Typically, the runtime announcements are shared on the following App Service space:
https://azure.microsoft.com/updates/?product=app-service
https://github.com/Azure/app-service-announcements/issues

Also, kindly refer this document OS and runtime patching in Azure App Service for more details on the topic [FAQ: Which OS and runtime versions are running your apps].

As a side note, we have Node 14 LTS (Preview) available on Linux App Service today.

Thank you for answering!

I've just tried to see if this preview runtime was added recently but I still don't see it when creating a new App:

Do I need to do something in order to refresh the list of available runtimes?

I'm very very new to Azure, so forgive me if this is something well known.

@Mike Valeriano , To benefit the community, updating a summary of our offline discussion here:

-Mike tried accessing the production portal once again and can deploy Node 14 Preview option for App Services.

-I'd a discussion with our product engineering team on that, which was remedied - https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-ux/pull/5463
