Beginner10 minTrending

Create and deploy a web application to Azure App Service directly from the command line using az webapp.

Prerequisites

-Azure CLI installed
-Active Azure subscription
-az login completed

Steps

Create a resource group

Resource groups act as logical containers for all related Azure resources.

$ az group create --name myapp-rg --location eastus

Pick a region closest to your users for lower latency.

Create an App Service plan

The plan defines the compute resources. B1 is a basic tier suitable for development.

$ az appservice plan create --name myapp-plan --resource-group myapp-rg --sku B1 --is-linux

Create the web app

Creates the App Service instance with the specified runtime stack.

$ az webapp create --name myapp-unique --resource-group myapp-rg --plan myapp-plan --runtime "NODE:20-lts"

The app name must be globally unique across all of Azure.

Deploy your code

Deploys a zip package of your application to the web app.

$ az webapp deploy --resource-group myapp-rg --name myapp-unique --src-path ./app.zip --type zip

Verify the deployment

Opens the deployed web app in your default browser.

$ az webapp browse --name myapp-unique --resource-group myapp-rg
