In this article will learn how to create an environment in
App Service for application hosting. Suppose we have developed a website for a
business and setting up a new server, which may be challenging like you need
appropriate hardware, operating system, and web hosting stack. Once all things
are done one headache come maintenance, you will be facing this issue when
traffic on your site increases day by day, now you will reinvest over
additional hardware and supporting software. Hosting your web application using
Azure App Service makes deploying and managing a web app much easier when
compared to maintaining a physical server. In this module, we will implement and
deploy a web app to App Service.
In this article, you
will learn:
1. Use the Azure portal to create an Azure App Service web app
