Azure App Service: Environment Variables loading optimization as expected in production
I'm experimenting with I recently switched to I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I'm working with an scenario where environment variables set in my Azure App Service are not being recognized in my production environment, despite being configured correctly. I have defined these variables in the Azure Portal under 'Configuration' and they're loading fine in my local development environment using .NET 5.0. However, when I deploy my application and run it on Azure, attempts to access them using `Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("MY_VARIABLE")` return `null`. I've confirmed that the variables are visible in the Azure Portal, and I've also tried restarting the App Service after making changes. Here’s how I define my environment variable in the Azure portal: 1. Go to App Service -> Configuration -> Application settings. 2. Add `MY_VARIABLE` with a value of `MyValue`. In my ASP.NET Core application, I have the following code in `Startup.cs`: ```csharp public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { var myVariable = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("MY_VARIABLE"); if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(myVariable)) { throw new Exception("MY_VARIABLE is not set!"); } } ``` I also have logging enabled, and I see no behavior messages related to loading the config. I’ve tried deploying the application with different configurations and also double-checked the deployment logs, but everything seems fine. Is there something specific to Azure App Service or .NET 5.0 that I might be missing? Could this be related to the deployment process or perhaps the way I’m accessing these variables? For context: I'm using C# on Windows. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I'm working on a REST API that needs to handle this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've been using C# for about a year now.
