问题
So I was looking into scheduling a python script on a daily basis and rather than using Task Scheduler on my own machine, I was wondering what is the best option I have to do so using an Azure cloud account.
回答1:
For your needs, I suggest you use Web Jobs in Web Apps Service.
It has two types of Azure Web Jobs for you to choose: Continuous and Trigger. For your needs, Trigger should be adopted.
You could refer to the document here for more details.In addition, here shows how to run tasks in WebJobs.
You could refer to the steps as below to create your webjob.
Step 1 :
Use the virtualenv component to create an independent python runtime environment in your system.Please install it first with command pip install virtualenv if you don't have it.
If you installed it successfully ,you could see it in your python/Scripts file.
Step2 : Run the commad to create independent python runtime environment.
Step 3: Then go into the created directory's Scripts folder and activate it (this step is important , don't miss it)
Please don't close this command window and use pip install <your libraryname> to download external libraries in this command window.
Step 4：Keep the Webjob.py(which is your own business code) uniformly compressed into a folder with the libs packages in the Libs/site-packages folder that you rely on.
Step 5: Create webjob in Web app service and upload the zip file,then you could execute your Web Job and check the log
You could also refer to the SO thread:
1.Options for running Python scripts in Azure
2.Python libraries on Web Job
BTW,you need to create a azure web app first because Webjob runs in azure web app.
Hope it helps you.
