Azure-docs: Critical info missing: SERVER_PORT

[randomor]

The container will be marked as not "did not start" if your app is not listening on the port specified by process.env.SERVER_PORT. Spent a few hours fighting with this when deploying a node.js app.

@randomor
Thank you for the detailed feedback. We are actively investigating and will get back to you soon.

@randomor Thank you for sharing your feedback with the community. We believe the doc may require an edit to include this information. As a result, we have assigned it to the doc author to have them investigate if an update is necessary.

@cephalin Can we include these details in the config article?

[cephalin]

@msangapu Yes this is important. It should be in both the upcoming config node.js article and mentioned in this quickstart. I suggest adding a short description of the index.js inside the "Download the sample" section.

[msangapu]

Thanks @randomor . We plan to update the Quickstart with these details.
