Azure app Service zip deployment and number of zip files

Azure app Service zip deployment and number of zip files

Question:

·       How many zip files azure app service keep in zip deployment?

Solution:

Zip deployment is one of the very popular deployment method in Azure app service.

When you deploy your zip files, Azure keeps it inside the kudu site.

By default it keeps only 5 recent zip files but sometime if you want to manage this number e.g. zip file size is large and you can’t afford to have 5 files then you can use following configuration setting.

SCM_MAX_ZIP_PACKAGE_COUNT=N

This setting is useful in both ways e.g. if you want to keep the backup of last few deployment then you can increase it and decrease if you have some size constraint.

Hope this helps.
