Built-in Azure App Service/Function Restart
I find that deployments to Azure Functions and standard app services will occasionally fail due to files being locked. This usually requires stopping the app service, re-running the deployment, and then restarting the function or app.
This can be scripted with Powershell, but since this is such a common scenario, I’d love a checkbox built into the Azure App Service step that provides this ability. Something like “Stop App Service prior to deployment and restart after deployment”.

Microsoft recommends enabling local cache on their app services. If you do not restart after a deploy, the app service will not load the latest version. I think this is a little more than a 'nice to have'.
