@Vamshi Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this. I understand that you're looking to create a webjob using a Bicep template. Typically, webjobs are stored in a specific path in the app service file system, depending on whether they are continuous or triggered.

Triggered --> d:\home\site\wwwroot\app_data\jobs\triggered<webjobCode> 
Continuous --> d:\home\site\wwwroot\app_data\jobs\continuous<webjobCode>

To deploy a web job, you'll need to create a zip file with the webjob code and then run the az webapp deployment source config-zip command from your Bicep template using deployment scripts.

You can find more information on folder structure of webjobs, zip deployment to app service cmdlet, and deployment scripts in Bicep in the documentation that I'll provide below.

Hope this helps. let me know if you have any further questions on this.

Hi VenkateshDodda-MSFT I need to process report generation. My requirement is to generate for example 500 Reports in PDF format or Word Format. Most of the Reports generated are about 1000 to 1300 pages each. I have created a .Net Core API solution for Report generation. Question: WebJob vs Function, which one is the best option. my understanding was Function supports for processing small data but based on my requirement I thought WebJob is better for generating Reports with huge data. Please advise ? Thank you Vam

Vamshi Thanks for your response, apologize for the delay in my response over the long weekend.

Azure WebJobs are designed for long-running, CPU-intensive tasks, such as report generation. They can run continuously or on a schedule, and can be triggered by a variety of events, such as a message in a queue or a file being uploaded to a storage account.

Azure Functions, on the other hand, are designed for short-lived, event-driven tasks, such as processing a message in a queue or responding to an HTTP request. While Functions can be used for report generation, they are better suited for smaller, less resource-intensive tasks.

In addition to WebJobs, you may also want to consider using Azure Batch for generating large reports. Azure Batch is a service for running large-scale parallel and high-performance computing (HPC) applications efficiently in the cloud.

I hope this helps you make an informed decision. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Nice to hear about the Azure Batch. My need is to generate huge data reports. Please share me details on Azure batch and how to deploy Azure batch.

Thank you

Thanks for your follow up questions on this.

the shared reference SO thread is discussing about deploying webjobs through azure devops.

For information about azure batch, you can refer to this documentation.

VenkateshDodda-MSFT Thank you for the details. I was reading about Azure Batch for generating large reports. My requirement is and I am interested to know if Azure Batch supports reading of multiple messages from the Service Bus queues and start running large-scale parallel applications efficiently in multiple threads in the cloud. Please share me documentation and samples on the same for reference purposes.

Thank you Vam

Vamshi Thanks for your follow-up based on requirement. As far as I know, it's not possible to integrate Azure batch to service bus integration. Also, I haven't come across a scenario or references related to it.
