Microsoft Azure - Deploy a website to Azure with Azure App Service in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya

Deploy a website to Azure

Web applications in Azure permit you to distribute and deal with your site effectively without working with the hidden servers, stockpiling, or system resources. Rather, you can concentrate on your site includes and depend on the powerful Azure stage to give secure access to your site.

Prepare your development environment for Azure development

Microsoft Azure enables you to quickly and efficiently build, deploy, monitor, and scale cloud hosted solutions. Azure’s deployment model is flexible. For example, you can develop in Visual Studio, commit your code to GitHub, build with Azure DevOps, and then deploy to Azure. Or you could use a different integrated development environment (IDE) like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA, develop on Linux, and deploy directly from your development machine to the cloud.

Using Azure means you use your favorite IDE, you choose from a large range of development languages, from C# to Java to Node.js, and you choose your development operating system. Microsoft provides and supports a wide range of development tools for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Host a web application with Azure App service

Azure App Service enables you to build and host web applications in the programming language of your choice without managing infrastructure. Learn how to create a website through the hosted web app platform in Azure App Service.

In this module, you will:

Use the Azure portal to create an Azure App Service web app
Use developer tools to create the code for a starter web application
Deploy your code to Azure App Service

Publish a web app to Azure with Visual Studio

Envision you’re a product engineer for a ski resort. You are propelling another application which will let clients see trail maps and buy lift tickets on your site or their cell phones. You need to make an ASP.NET Core web application to supplement and publicize the application. Being a Visual Studio designer, you need to utilize it to make, convey, and deal with your new site.

Visual Studio and Azure App Service give a ground-breaking instrument to making, distributing, and keeping up web applications in Azure. Here, you will figure out how to utilize the distributing highlights worked in to Visual Studio to send and oversee ASP.NET Core web applications facilitated on Azure.

Stage a web app deployment for testing and rollback by using App Service deployment slots

n this module, you will:

Create a deployment slot as a staging environment in App Service.
Use git to deploy a new version of a web app to a slot.
Configure which app settings are swapped and which are not swapped when you deploy a slot.
Swap slots to deploy a web app or roll back a deployment.

Scale an App Service web app to efficiently meet demand with App Service scale up and scale out

Scaling out enables you to run more instances of a web app, but the resources available to each instance are determined by the pricing tier used by the App Service plan that hosts the web service. Each pricing tier specifies the computing power provided, together with the memory and maximum number of instances that can be created.

If you initially deploy a web app using a relatively cheap pricing tier, you might find the resources are sufficient to start with. But the resources might become too limited if demand for your web service grows, or if you add features that require more power. In this case, you can scale up to a more powerful pricing tier.

Deploy and run a containerized web app with Azure App Service

Create a Docker image and store it in a repository in Azure Container Registry. Use Azure App Service to deploy a web application based on the Docker image. Configure continuous deployment for the web app by using a webhook that monitors the Docker image for changes.

In this module, you will:

Create Docker images and store them in a repository in Azure Container Registry.
Use Azure App Service to run web apps that are based on Docker images held in Container Registry.
Use webhooks to configure continuous deployment of a web app that’s based on a Docker image.
