Azure App Service
Azure App Service is a service used to create and deploy scalable, mission-critical web apps.
It ignores WEBSITES_CONTAINER_START_TIME_LIMIT, and send a ping after 3second from startup. Why?
Container didn't respond to HTTP pings on port: 8080, failing site start. See container logs for debugging.

I have deployed an App Service via Github Workers with node.js now i have the problem, that the node.js Application is running, but the Ports is not exposing. Can everyone give me an advice or is it possible to deactivate HTTP pings?

You container has to have a default response of 404. This means if someone tries to get to a page or resource that doesn't exist in your service, make it respond with a 404.
Apparently, Azure pings your container by trying to access a random resource and expects your service to respond with 404. If that doesn't help, the container is deemed as unusable.
Hope it helps other people to not have to go through the wild goose chase so many people in this thread had to go through.
Microsoft. Come on! That could have been documented or clearer from the error message.
