Deploying a web API to Azure App Service
In this section, we will deploy the application using the Azure App Service. This example uses a free trial account. If you have access to any other subscription, you can use that here.

project
in Solution Explorer and selectPublish

Publish
dialog, clickMicrosoft Azure App Service

to create a new resource group from Visual Studio. You could also use an existing one. In this example, an already existing Azure app under resource group is used. - Click
Ok
to web deploy the application to the Azure app. - Web Deploy will perform the operation of installing dotnet runtime, restoring packages, and copying the published web API application onto the Azure apps.
- Once done, the browser automatically opens up with the link. You are ready to test it now:
