I already know how to change the version of Node.js running on an Azure website, but how do I see what the available Node.js version are that can be used in Azure?
This is similar to this question, but the asker there explicitly wants to know the version that is currently running, not what versions are available.
Using the Azure CLI is easiest:
az webapp list-runtimes
returns:
[
"aspnet|v4.7",
"aspnet|v3.5",
"node|0.6",
"node|0.8",
"node|0.10",
"node|0.12",
"node|4.8",
"node|6.12",
"node|7.10",
"node|8.4",
"node|8.5",
"node|8.9",
"node|8.10",

Available WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION options can found here:
https://[your app name].scm.azurewebsites.net/api/diagnostics/runtime
For more details check How to find available node.js versions for Windows Webapps.
I use Application Service Environment with Linux. I set Node.js version to 10.10 in portal. The WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION value is 10.10 Here is what I get in deployment logs:
Using appsetting WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION value: 10.10
Node.js versions available on the platform are: 4.4.7, 4.5.0, 6.2.2, 6.6.0, 6.9.3, 6.10.3, 6.11.0, 8.0.0, 8.1.0, 8.2.1, 8.8.1, 8.9.4, 8.11.2, 9.4.0, 10.1.0.
Could not resolve node version. Deployment will proceed with default versions of node and npm.
And here is what I get when I run node --version in Kudu Bash console:
/home>node --version
v10.14.1
It is version 10.14.1 even it is not listed as available! However it is listed in Azure portal.
When I run SSH to container from Kudu on the same application:
0517c643ed59:~# node --version
v10.10.0
I'm really confused about what versions of Node.js are supported by Azure and what are actually in use!
