## Deploy your Python app using Azure web service az webapp up \ --location westindia \ --name AppServiceDemoRestApi \ --runtime 'PYTHON:3.8' \ --resource-group AppServiceDemoRG \ --sku B1 |
The above command will do the following things
- Create a default app service plan.
- Create an app with the specified name.
- Zip deploy files from the current working directory to the web app.
It may take 2-3 mins to create all the resources and deploy your Python web app using Azure App Service.
Step 4: Validate if the REST API is working fine.
