Once you’ve verified that your app works on your machine properly, the next step is to deploy it to Microsoft Azure App Service, which provides a fully-manageable platform for hosting and running web applications.
There are several ways that the App Service automatically handles.
- Infrastructure
- Server configuration
- Scaling applications
- Â Keeping the app secure with patches, etc.
Â
This allows developers to be able to focus more on building their apps and not have to worry about maintaining servers.
Step 1: Log in to Azure
First, authenticate your Azure account using the Azure CLI.
az login
This command will open a browser window where you can log in to your Azure account.
Step 2: Deploy the Application Using Azure CLI
Navigate to your project directory and run the following command:
az webapp up \
–name niotechone-dotnet-app \
–resource-group niotechone-dotnet-rg \
–plan niotechone-appservice-plan \
–sku F1 \
–runtime “DOTNET:6”
Explanation of Parameters
Parameter | Perpose |
–name | Indicates the name of your Azure Web App |
–resource-group | Container for Azure resources as a logical grouping |
–plan | Defines the App Service hosting plan |
–sku F1 | Uses the Free tier for hosting |
–sku F1 | .NET Runtime (e.g. Version) |
Azure will automatically do the following:
1. Create a Resource Group
2. Create an App Service Plan
3. Build your project
4. Deploy your application
Example Deployment Output
- After the command finishes, you will see the same log
- Creating Resource Group ‘niotechone-dotnet-rg’
- Creating App Service Plan ‘niotechone-appservice-plan’
- Creating Web App ‘niotechone-dotnet-app’
- Deploying application package…
- Deployment successful
