[SSH] - Unable to connect to App Service SSH through "az webapp ssh" command

See original GitHub issue

az feedback auto-generates most of the information requested below, as of CLI version 2.0.62

Describe the bug Cannot connect to App Service SSH using “az webapp ssh” command. It states “Connection is not ready yet, please wait”, and waits until times out.

To Reproduce

log into our tenant in Azure Portal
open cloud shell
type the command “az webapp ssh --name [our-app-service-name] -g [our-resource-group-name]-rg -t 30”

Expected behavior Connection on our App Service through SSH.

Environment summary We are using Azure portal own CLI (azure-cli 2.1.0) and also DevOps task “AzureCLI@2”, both failing to reach our App Services.

Additional context We have several App Services into the same App Service Plan, none of which can be connected through the “az webapp ssh” command. We are able to connect the SSH via Azure Portal > App Service > SSH normally. Until last week we could (although not consistently) connect using this command. Now we just cannot.

I see the same behavior as @garimpeirodouniverso, both running the CLI locally on my machine, and from Cloud Shell. I hadn’t tried az webapp ssh before today, so I’ve never seen successful behavior. I also get a timeout error with az webapp create-remote-connection.

Unable to reproduce bug. I was able to SSH via portal and CLI - insufficient details for further reproduction. closing this issue. FYI, this command is planned to be deprecated and replaced, timeline TBD.
