Seamless integration and application hosting enabled through versatile service
When using a Linux App Service or containerized App Services, the logging is not as good as when using the Windows version. The Linux App Service should be more user-friendly, focusing on logging, troubleshooting, and similar features.

After that, you can choose some stack or use Docker to container. When using Linux with container, the logging functionality is not as robust.
