App Service doesn't list Go as supported engine

Question

According to the post here, Go should be supported engine in App Service. Page list the feature as experimental and doesn't mention that it would require specific access.

Following command from the instructions throw an error.

az webapp up --runtime GO:1.19 --os linux --sku B1
Linux runtime 'GO|1.19' is not supported. Please check supported runtimes with: 'az webapp list-runtimes --os Linux'

Listing the engines, doesn't include Go

az webapp list-runtimes --os linux --output table

Answer 1

@Mikko Kotamies Thanks for your patience on this. I have checked with internal team and sharing the below.

Our app service engineering team has confirmed GO runtime is going to be deprecated as option to create the app service.

Alternatively, if you want to run your GO runtime application on app service. It is suggested to deploy using custom container.

I have relayed this feedback to content author team and the respective changes to documents will be updated soon.

Feel free to reach back to me if you have any further questions on this.
