Why is my web app is down with 503 after upgrading from .NET Core 6 to 8, with no errors in application insights or the log stream?

The site worked with .NET Core 6. I updated it to .NET Core 8, changed the configuration in the App Service to >NET Core 8 and....503 errors.

I turned on logging and Application Insights. No errors are shown in the log stream on in the Application Insights failures. No requests are showing in Application Insights either, so the browser requests are not getting very far.

When I look at Kudo, it looks like .NET 8 wasn't installed so I added the runtime as a site extension. But that didn't make a difference.

The built-in solution/problem detection tools don't see anything. They report the service is healthy.

Any suggestions of where I can look next?

    @Joe Wilson update- You should be able to run .NET 8 apps on Windows in majority of the regions/stamps.

    Also, team, is planning to remove the “Early Access” label once roll out is completed. ETA in coming weeks (tentatively).

    @Joe Wilson Update- Early access label is removed from Portal for .NET 8 and with this there are no more open items for .NET 8. User's image Please let us know if further query or issue remains.
