I got to know that webjobs are not supported on Linux (+PHP8) only after deploying and configuring my instance. Windows + PHP8 option is non-extant too.

Will Linux App Service plans ever be able to run WebJobs ?

Hello @Deepak Thomas

Unfortunately there is no ETA to implement WebJobs for App Service Linux, however you can vote for Azure feedback to add Webjob for linux service plan
https://feedback.azure.com/d365community/idea/1c42936a-ff5b-ec11-a819-0022484bf651

Microsoft suggests using Azure Functions instead.

    You have an Azure subscription that includes the following web apps:

    WebApp1, which runs code in a Windows operating system.

    WebApp2, which runs code in a Linux operating system.

    WebApp3, which runs in a Docker container on Windows.

    WebApp4, which runs in a Docker container on Linux.

    From which web apps can you use WebJobs?

    any idea ??
