How To Create Azure App Using Azure Cloud Portal

Introduction

App Service Web Apps lets you quickly build, deploy, and scale enterprise-grade web, mobile, and API apps running on any platform. Meet rigorous performance, scalability, security and compliance requirements while using a fully managed platform to perform infrastructure maintenance.

Open your Azure portal

First you need to open your Microsoft azure account after that go to home and then select the subscription where you want to create azure web app.

Create Azure Web App

Select the azure app from resources then follow the steps that are necessary for the azure application. Select a subscription to manage deployed resources and costs. Use resource groups like folders to organize and manage all your resources.

Create the Azure Resource Group

Now select the Azure Subscription and create the Azure resource group.

Select the name of your Application

Select the Azure App Name and I am selecting my web app name as DOTNET-Auth-API

Select the Runtime Stack

After selecting the name and Recourse group now select the code version for your application and my application is using Microsoft Azure Asp.Net 6 so I am selecting .NET 6 Latest stable Version.

Select the Azure Region

After selecting the Azure Code Runtime and then select the azure region where you want to deploy your application. Azure regions are very important for application cost and application deployment cost. So I am selecting Central US.

Create App Service Plan

An App Service plan defines a set of compute resources for a web app to run. These compute resources are analogous to the server farm in conventional web hosting. One or more apps can be configured to run on the same computing resources (or in the same App Service plan).

Select the pricing plan

Now select the pricing Tier Dev/Test, Production, Isolated

Now our purpose of application is development and testing so we are selecting Dev/Test

Select the Recommended Pricing Tier

Here you can see the recommended pricing tier and we are selecting the BI Green

Select the Deployment Option

Enable GitHub Actions to continuously deploy your app. GitHub Actions is an automation framework that can build, test, and deploy your app whenever a new commit is made in your repository. If your code is in GitHub, choose your repository here and we will add a workflow file to automatically deploy your app to App Service. If your code is not in GitHub, go to the Deployment Center once the web app is created to set up your deployment.

Select the Net Working Options

Web Apps can be provisioned with the inbound address being public to the internet or isolated to an Azure virtual network. Web Apps can also be provisioned with outbound traffic able to reach endpoints in a virtual network, be governed by network security groups or affected by virtual network routes. By default, your app is open to the internet and cannot reach into a virtual network. These aspects can also be changed after the app is provisioned.

Select the Azure Monitoring Options

Azure Monitor application insights is an Application Performance Management (APM) service for developers and DevOps professionals. Enable it below to automatically monitor your application. It will detect performance anomalies and includes powerful analytics tools to help you diagnose issues and to understand what users actually do with your app. 

Select the Tags Options

Tags are name/value pairs that enable you to categorize resources and view consolidated billing by applying the same tag to multiple resources and resource groups.

Note that if you create tags and then change resource settings on other tabs, your tags will be automatically updated.

Review and Create

Now Review all your Steps and Create the Azure App.

Now hit the create button and then Azure app creation process will start.

You can see in the given below picture that application deployment process is in progress.

Now you can see that our deployment process succeeded and we can go to the Created resource.

Our Azure App Creation Process has been done.

Now you need to hit the Azure App URL.

Application Status

Now you can see that our application is Live on the Azure Cloud.
