Update Python version for a Function App in Azure Sentinel integration

Question

How do I update the Python version for a Function App used in an Azure Sentinel integration to ensure compatibility and avoid potential issues?

Answer

Updating the Python version ensures compatibility with integrations and enhances security. Follow these steps to change the Python version for your SecurityScorecard Function App.

1. Open the SecurityScorecard Function App.

2. In the left-side panel, go to the Settings section and open the Configuration page.

3. On the Configuration page, navigate to the General Settings tab.

4. Under Python Version, select Python 3.9 instead of Python 3.8.

5. Click Continue to save the changes.

6. Go to the Overview tab from the left-side panel. Click Restart to restart the Function App.

7.  When prompted, click Yes to confirm the restart.

Once the Function App restarts, it will run with the updated Python version.

Why is this important for integrations?

• Certain integrations, including those with Azure Sentinel, require updated Python versions for optimal performance and security.
• Running an outdated Python version may cause compatibility issues with SecurityScorecard APIs and third-party services.
