 App Service adds the power of Microsoft Azure to your application, including improved security, load balancing, autoscaling, and automated management.

 * **Managed production environment** - App Service automatically [patches and maintains the OS and language frameworks](overview-patch-os-runtime.md) for you. Spend time writing great apps and let Azure worry about the platform.
 * **Containerization and Docker** - Dockerize your app and host a custom Windows or Linux container in App Service. Run sidecar containers of your choice. Migrate your Docker skills directly to App Service.
 * **DevOps optimization** - Set up [continuous integration and deployment](deploy-continuous-deployment.md) with Azure DevOps, GitHub, BitBucket, Docker Hub, or Azure Container Registry. Promote updates through [test and staging environments](deploy-staging-slots.md). Manage your apps in App Service by using [Azure PowerShell](/powershell/azure/) or the [cross-platform command-line interface (CLI)](/cli/azure/install-azure-cli).

 * **API and mobile features** - App Service provides turn-key CORS support for RESTful API scenarios and simplifies mobile app scenarios by enabling authentication, offline data sync, push notifications, and more.

 ## App Service on Linux
 
 App Service can also host web apps natively on Linux for supported application stacks. It can also run custom Linux containers (also known as *Web App for Containers*).
 
 ### Built-in languages and frameworks
 
-App Service on Linux supports a number of language-specific built-in images. Just deploy your code. Supported languages include: Node.js, Java (Tomcat, JBoss, or with an embedded web server), PHP, Python, and .NET Core. Run [`az webapp list-runtimes --os linux`](/cli/azure/webapp#az-webapp-list-runtimes) to view the latest languages and supported versions. If the runtime your application requires isn't supported in the built-in images, you can deploy it with a custom container.

 Outdated runtimes are periodically removed from the Web Apps Create and Configuration blades in the portal. These runtimes are hidden from the portal when they're deprecated by the maintaining organization or found to have significant vulnerabilities. These options are hidden to guide customers to the latest runtimes, where they'll be the most successful.
