[FIXED] How to handle Outage images in Azure WebApp

Issue

We are hosting our website in Azure. During the deployment(TFS) we will do the below Steps as the part of the deployment pipeline.

1. Stop the WebApp
2. Deploy Web App Service
3. Start the WebApp

After the 1st step, if anyone tries to access our website, then by default Azure will return the below page

We really don't want our users to show this page during the outage. We are planning to show our own outage image/page in such case.

Is there is any way to achieve this?

Since Azure Web Apps in a Paas model, I'm wondering how to do this?

Any inputs Appreciated!

Solution

It seems that it does not suppport custom error page at this time. There is feedback on Enabling users to create custom error pages for 403 and 503 service unavailable messages.

I think you could up vote to promote the realization of this feature.
