Deploying web applications has never been easier, thanks to the Azure CLI’s az webapp up command. In this article, we’ll explore how to quickly deploy web apps with minimal configuration using Azure Web Apps.

Azure App Service is one of the top five most popular Azure cloud services, offering robust application deployment and hosting services.

The az webapp up command in Azure CLI allows for the swift deployment of web applications with minimal configuration.

When deploying an application with az webapp up, the following happens automatically:

  • Single Command Deployment: All resources are deployed using a single command.
  • Automatic Resource Creation: Create an app service plan and supporting resources.
  • Platform Detection: Based on the application’s source code, the command provisions the appropriate platform.
  • Directory-Based Deployment: The app is deployed from the current directory where the source code is located.

Using az webapp up

To use the command, start by installing the latest version of Azure CLI. Then, log in to Azure using the following command:

az login

From the terminal, navigate to your application’s directory and run the following command:

az webapp up -g RGNAME -n WEBAPPNAME --html

The above command will deploy a static web app to Azure.
