Retirement Announcement - Transition to Tomcat 8.5 or 9.0 by 29 July 2022

Because Tomcat 7 has reached the end of community support on 23 March 2021, applications hosted on App Service will continue to run, but they will not receive updates or security patches because they are no longer available. If you have a question, please post it in this thread.

Would it be possible to have the graph query that this is looking for? I see the impacted subscriptions, but it would be nice to have the query to get the exact resources impacted.

To minimize risk and potential security vulnerabilities, upgrade your Web Apps to Tomcat 8.5 or 9 depending on your workload requirements.

To start, log in to Azure portal, navigate to the web app(s) go to Configuration > Settings > Stack Settings. You will see dropdowns for Tomcat versions. Select Tomcat 8.5 or 9.0.

You can also view other resources before you upgrade your Web Apps to Tomcat 8.5 or 9.

If you have any additional queries regarding this retirement, please use comments on this thread to ask your specific queries and we will try our best to answer those queries.

Just point for clarification, the URL link mentions needing to "transition-to-tomcat-85-or-90-by-29-july-2022"
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/transition-to-tomcat-85-or-90-by-29-july-2022/

Does this mean after 7/29/2022 the Azure app services configured for Tomcat 7 will stop working or is it just that as mentioned in the article the App Service will continue to run, but they will not receive updates or security patches because they are no longer available?

If you can clarify, so we can take appropriate action. Thank you,

Tomcat 7 applications will continue to run, but we highly recommend moving to Tomcat 8.5 or 9.0. Eventually Tomcat 7 will be removed entirely and web apps will be updated to Tomcat 8.0 or 9.5. That date has not yet been set, and customers will receive another notification before that removal.
