Microsoft Azure Web App Service

Three steps to create a FREE web app on Microsoft Azure using Azure CLI.

  • Create Resource Group - Name: myResourceGroup
  • Create App Service Plan - Name: lthwnodejs
  • Create Web app - Name: lthwnodejs

Create Resource Group


az group create --name myResourceGroup --location "South Central US"



Create FREE App Service Plan

MUST add --sku FREE

az appservice plan create --name lthwnodejs --resource-group myResourceGroup --sku FREE



Create Web App


az webapp create --name lthwnodejs --resource-group myResourceGroup --plan lthwnodejs

Yet another example creating a python webapp

PS F:\Projects\github\iflask> .\env\Scripts\activate
(env) PS F:\Projects\github\iflask> az webapp up --sku F1 -n iflask -l centralus
webapp iflask doesn't exist
Creating Resource group 'tuyendq_rg_Linux_centralus' ...

  "runtime_version": "python|3.7",
  "runtime_version_detected": "-",
