Using an unsupported Python runtime in Azure App Service may expose applications to security vulnerabilities
as these versions no longer receive security patches. This check ensures Python versions are still supported by the Python Foundation.
Impact
Recommended Actions
Follow the appropriate remediation steps below to resolve the issue.
Update to a supported Python version (3.9 or higher). Consider migrating from azurerm_app_service to azurerm_linux_web_app for access to modern Python versions.
