There are multiple ways to deploy a .NET 8 web app to Azure, and you might consider using a custom container, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/quickstart-custom-container?tabs=dotnet&pivots=container-linux-azure-portal

I don't have time to completely re-work our infrastructure. (And I'm a developer and not an infrastructure person so containers are just too difficult.)

Your UX doesn't look anything like what Azure currently shows for that information. In the modern UX under Configuration \ General Settings for a Web App (App Service) you should have Stack Settings section. Under there is Stack where the option should be set to NET. Then under .NET Version you would have .NET 8 (LTS)` as an option. The legacy `NET Core options are not shown anymore. I also don't see any Tomcat options which isn't a NET runtime anyway. This leads me to believe you don't have a standard App Service.

Since other things may expose a similar set of options can you please walk us through how you got to this screen you're on including what actual resource type it is? Note that you should be editing an existing resource and not creating a new one. If you're creating a new one then let us know that as well.

This is the deployment pipeline in AzureDevOps.

For 6 to 7 this just worked. Why isn't 8 available?

If I update the app service to .NET8 then the current .NET7 code stops working.

We don't provide support for Azure DevOps here so you should probably post in their official support channel. But there are several ways to deploy to Azure so you'd need to be more specific about which task you are using to deploy to Azure. Also you should ensure that you're using the latest version of that task as new options may have been added.

Apparently you just type in 8 to replace the 7s?

Seems a bit crap?

Doesn't work. After deployment everything returns 404.

Appears to be impossible to update without downtime.

So net8 is there for function apps but not for regular apps.
