Is it possible to automate a code snippet with Python to be run for example every hour? If yes, how it is done?
This code is aimed to be run on Azure server.
According your comments, it seems that your application is hosted on Azure Web Apps. We can leverage web jobs to run background tasks on Azure Web Apps.
General steps,
1,Compress your python script into a zip file
2,login on Azure management portal, click WEBJOBS tab in your website dashboard navigation.
3,Click Add to create a web job task, input a name, upload the zip file with your python script, and configure frequency of running the task.
For more information, please refer to Run Background tasks with WebJobs on official site.

We have just signed up with Azure and were wondering how to schedule and run Python scripts that extract data from various sources like APIs, web scrape scripts, etc. What is the best tool on Azure that can run and schedule those scripts as well as save to target destination.
The output of the scripts will be saved to either data lakes and/or azure sql database.
Thank you.
There're several services in azure can do this task.
I suggest you can take use of azure webjobs(it supports python as well as support running as per schedule).
The rough guidelines are as below:
1.Develop your python scripts locally, make sure it can work locally(like extract data from other sources, save to azure database).
2.In azure portal, Create a scheduled WebJob. During creation, you need to upload the .py file(zip all the files into a .zip file); For "Type", please select "Triggered"; in the Triggers dropdown, select "Scheduled"; then specify at which time to run the .py file by using CRON Expression.
3.It's done.
You can also consider other azure services like azure function with time trigger. But the webjob is much more easier.
Hope it helps, and also please let me know if you still have more issues about that.
I am new to Microsoft Azure. I created a bot in Python that takes a message in Messenger from a page that I created in Facebook, processes each message posted, into a function that produces output to present back to Messenger (through Webhook).
Since I have no web space, my Python script is ran locally on my machine, and I am using local hosting to 'communicate' back and forth in Messenger and using my local hosting address for my Webhook link. I also need the script running locally on my machine and local hosting in order for my bot to work in Facebook Messenger.
I was wondering if there is a way to run my script directly from a server on Azure when and if I get web space, instead of from my machine locally (as I THINK Azure is the place to do this from), and how do I run my script from there instead on a 'constant basis'? Thank you for any assistance.
I have created a python web app on azure. I also have devOps where I have repository and all the python flask API code.
In azure python web app, under deployment center. I have selected the Azure DevOps and have selected my organization, project, repo and branch. It also has an option of selecting the web application framework in which I think I need to select Python but there is no option of selecting python. If I do not select any framework and click continue, nothing happens. Can anyone please help me in setting this up. Thanks
I suppose you are using a Linux web app, if so, there is no Python option in Web Application Framework, it is just available in the Windows web app.
I have a python script that takes lot of time to execute so we decided to execute it on aws gpu cloud but it is a part of ASP.NET web application.
So what I want to do is From My ASP.NET application, I want to send a text file to python script. The python script executes on GPU when it required and will come back with results.
Is it possible? Can we create python web service on aws GPU?

I am trying to setup a schedule job/process in cloud to load csv data into Bigquery from google buckets using a python script. I have manage to get hold off the python code to do this but not sure where do I need to save this code so that this task could be completed as an automated process rather than running the gsutil commands manualy.
