Configuring AppSettings with ASP.Net Core on Azure Web App for Containers: Whither Colons?

Question

Consider this appsettings.json:

{
  \"Parent\": {
    \"ChildOne\": \"C1 from secrets.json\",
    \"ChildTwo\": \"C2 from secrets.json\"
  }
}
         


        

Answer 1

After more experimentation than I'd like to admit I think I have the answer.

Where you use : on an App Service, use a __ (double underscore) on an App Service with containers.

So Parent__ChildOne instead of Parent:ChildOne.
