Maintaining Sticky Session in Azure Web App for Linux Container

I have an Azure Web App for Linux Container with PHP Web Application deployed as a single Container. This Azure Web App is running with minimum of two of instance and is setup to auto scale. This Web Application uses sticky session. Does the Azure Web App for Linux Container supports it? Is there any way I can set it up in Azure Web App for Linux Container?
Of course, the Azure Web App for Linux Container supports the sticky session. But in the Web App, it calls ARR affinity, if you need the sticky session, just enable it. In addition, it's enabled in default. You can take look at the document here. You can enable it if it was disabled:

Visual Studio Team Services error: "The target of the specified cmdlet cannot be a Windows client-based operating system."

When I try to deploy my artifact on IIS, I am getting the error as shown in the below screenshot. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The "IIS Web App Management" screenshot is shown below:
The error message is pretty clear: You can't use it to install IIS on a client OS (such as Windows 10). You have to use a server OS (such as Windows Server).
There's nothing you can do about it other than to use a server OS or use an alternate tool to deploy.
Using Windows Remote Management (WinRM), connect to the host
machine(s) where IIS or SQL Server is installed, and manage the Web
application or deploy the SQL Server Database as described below:
Create a new website or update an existing website using AppCmd.exe.
Create a new application pool or update an existing application pool using AppCmd.exe.
Deploy a Web Application to the IIS Server using Web Deploy.
Deploy a SQL Server Database using DACPAC and SqlPackage.exe.
Your log mentioned the task was installing IIS, and it seemed the tasking was installing IIS on a windows client OS. You need to check your target machine to see whether it has IIS installed.

Azure Mobile App on Service Fabric

I am using the Offline Sync feature of Azure Mobile Apps and it is working as expected.
I am also running a Service Fabric cluster on Azure for other services.
Is there anything that would prevent me technically or legally from running the Azure Mobile App on Service Fabric? (As opposed to running Azure Moble App on Azure Mobile App host on Azure).
Azure Mobile Apps uses three things:
Offline sync with a SQL Azure instance backend - fully supported on whatever container you choose
Push Registrations connected via App Service Push - will not be supported outside of Azure App Service
Authentication via server-flow or client-flow - will not be supported outside of Azure App Service
You don't have a problem legally - Azure Mobile Apps is an open-source project licensed under a OSS friendly license. However, Auth and Push are going to be issues if you use them.

Windows Azure Virtual Machine - IIS logs

We have created a Windows server 2012 virtual machine is Azure and deployed ASP.NET MVC website in IIS. Right now, we have enabled IIS logging and its saving log files on local disk.
Is there any way by which we can save IIS logs to Azure blob storage or table storage?
There are lot of articles about how to do this in web role OR in Azure Web Site, but not for IIS in manually created virtual machine.
Thanks for the help!
You'll need to write a process to export them to external storage. Web Roles use the azure PaaS agent which isn't currently available in IaaS. Web Sites are a higher level service built on PaaS so the agent is available there already.
If you poke around, I'm sure there are several sample projects already available that will help with this.

Azure Compute Emulator can't connect to database after Upgrading to SQL Server 2008 R2

Until last week, I developed with SQL Server 2008 non-R2 and my ASP.NET MVC web application worked fine in the Azure Compute Emulator. It establishes a database connection while running.
After switching to SQL Server 2008 R2 (deinstalled the non-R2 verson before), my web application can't connect to the database anymore when running in the Compute Emulator.
Interesting: When I start my application outside of the Azure Compute Emulator, it works!
The exception:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was unhandled by user code
Message=Cannot open database "X" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'.
Any ideas? Thanks!
I guess your connection string is with "Integrated Security=True" (or SSPI). Your old server was configured to grand access to the target DataBase for user "Netword Service", while your new R2 installation isn't.
Moreover, when you run your app under Compute Emulator, it uses IIS to run your web role, thus, the default app pool identity (Network Service). However when you run your application without the Cloud Project (Compute Emulator) it uses the Casini (AKA Web Development Server), which runs under the account used for Visual Studio (guess elevated version of your user account). And because your user account does have access to the dabase, your application also has.
I highly suggest drop off any "integrated security" connection strings, and use against SQL Server users when developing Windows Azure applications, that target cloud deployment. SQL Azure only supports SQL Server Authenticatin/Authorization.
I had the same problem, but after removing "Integrated Security=True" from my connection string in web.config the mvc-app could not connect either, this time because of an Entity-Framework error.
But fortunately this workaround finally solved my problem!
