How to deploy a simple static micro site on Microsoft Azure

0 votes
I plan to move all my websites from my own baremetal server to Microsoft Azure. To get things started I want to do a POC and deploy a very simple static microsite - a single html page with some css/img/js resources.

How does one go deploy a simple static website? I can see options for simple CMS type sites, but nothing for the most basic of sites.

Try steps told in this tutorial:

https://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/azureboxes/cloud-hosting-for-a-static-website.aspx

This is not like a traditional documentation. It's more of a blog post. I find it very useful.

Basically, it contains:

  1. Go to https://portal.azure.com/ and create a new web app
  2. Deploy site using FTP. (There are other ways too)
  3. Map the Web app to a CDN for improved performance and efficiency.
  4. And how to add a custom domain.

Hope it helps!

Create an Azure Storage account ("hot file" option). Open it and enable the "static website" option. Now you can upload your static files to the "$web" blob container. For uploading you can use https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/features/storage-explorer/ or powershell or some other ways :) Azure will generate an subdomain for you. You can configure your own domian in the storage account.
