This week I have noticed a continuous webjob on my teams azure portal.

No one on the team says they have deployed it, or are familiar with it. I found this blog:

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/blog/daas/

Referring something potentially related, but some of the links on this page seem to be dead. One of them redirects you to check the Azure 'Diagnose and solve problems' blade. It looks like this has had its UI revamped, though I had never really needed to use this feature much so I am not accustomed to all its previous/new? features.

In here I found some diagnostic tools that seem useful and Azure App Service 'Auto Healing'. Nothing I have found seems to rely on this webjob and 'DaaS' doesn't exist on for any of our other App Services in the Azure Portal.

Can I disable or delete this? I don't feel great about having a continuous webjob running, that no one on our team knows what it is doing, or seem to need for any reason.

Do we lose these ?new? features in the Diagnostic blade? The features seem to be available for the App Services without the webapp present for them.

Its Logs are attached as follows:

Which doesn't tell me a whole lot. Please let me know if this is a new feature, or I am getting ABTested, or if you think this can be disabled/removed. Thank you.

I tried to go to the DaaS page, but the function has been deprecated as shown in the screenshot. And the page also suggested to use the "Diagnose and Solve".So I believe the DaaS WebJob could be removed.

Now that it works as a continuous webjob you can find and remove it from Kudu. You could accessenter image description here https：// <YourSiteName>.scm.azurewebsites.net then choose the Tools->Zip Push Deploy->App_Data->jobs->continuous. If the "DaaS" is there, you could click - to delete it like the pic.

If you still have questions, please let me know.
