Exploring azure Web app (App services)

When I set out to explore Azure cloud platform, I wanted to start with something easy and reliable. Azure Web App (Azure App Service) seemed like the perfect fit. Here’s a walkthrough of my experience about how and what I did.

Prerequisites

Before diving in, I made sure I had:

• An Azure account

• A GitHub account

• Fork this Project Link

This was a simple flask web-app which will display “ Hello, Azure Web Apps!”.

So first what I did was to create a Web app using azure portal and passed down the values as required for this flask web app. Make sure if you don’t have an App Service plan then you have to create one either create beforehand or you can create will configuring the Web App.

After the web app was deployed we have to configure the deployment section. Well you can do it before deploying the Web App, but I preferred to it afterwards.

You just need to select the Source of the Code and validate it, I used github and mentioned the project repository.

After that Azure web App will automatically create a GitHub Action Pipeline under the .github/workflows/ folder.

After that you can just use the url provided at the overview section of the Azure Web App to view it at browser.

Please provide any tips or guidance you can. Thank you for reading.
