We know that Azure Scheduler will retire soon. So I'd Like to know if a WebJob using CRON EXPRESSION will be afected by this retirement?

  • that's very unlikely! WebJobs are going to stay, and so the CRON expressions. – Sunny Sharma Oct 21 '19 at 12:23

WebJob using CRON EXPRESSION will not be affected. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/webjobs-create

You can also leverage Azure function and Azure Logic apps for this.

Created Recurrence Trigger Logic App with the required schedule.

There are different ways to configure a web job to run on a schedule.

  1. Using Azure scheduler - Configure a scheduler in azure portal, which points to the deployed Webjob. For more detail, refer below link.

Azure Logic Apps is replacing Azure Scheduler, which is being retired.

  1. Using CRON expression - The most recommended approach for a web job scheduling. For more detail, refer below link.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/webjobs-create

So WebJob using CRON EXPRESSION will not be affected. You can still find the CRON Expression option in azure poratl as below
