Our reserved App Service instance is completely non-functional. The web app won’t start at all. Even minimal test containers fail with 1800s timeout.

Summary

My Azure App Service on a reserved instance (Premium0V3) has completely stopped working. Even the simplest Node.js container fails to start, timing out after exactly 1800 seconds. The same Docker images work perfectly locally.

What’s happening:

All container deployments fail with “Site startup probe failed after 1800 seconds” Container starts successfully (logs show “Container is running”) PM2 launches (logs show “PM2 log: Launching in no daemon mode”) Application never responds to health probes After exactly 30 minutes, Azure kills the container Instance status shows “Unknown” or “Stopped” with error: “ContainerTimeout”
