Getting started with Azure App Service
Azure App Service is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) for hosting web applications.
ASP.NET or ASP.NET Core
Use the following resources to get started with .NET.
| Action | Resources |
|---|---|
| Create your first .NET app | Use one of the following tools: - Visual Studio - Visual Studio Code - Command line - Azure PowerShell - Azure portal |
| Deploy your app | - Configure ASP.NET - Configure ASP.NET core - GitHub actions |
| Monitor your app | - Log stream - Diagnose and solve tool |
| Add domains & certificates | - Map a custom domain - Add an SSL certificate |
| Connect to a database | - .NET with Azure SQL Database - .NET Core with Azure SQL Database |
| Custom containers | - Linux - Visual Studio Code - Windows - Visual Studio |
| Review best practices | - Scale your app - Deployment - Security - Virtual Network |
Java
App Service aims to provide robust support for Java. To cover the depth and breadth of Java applications, App Service supports the Java Standard Edition (SE), Tomcat, and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) technology stacks. At the base of these stacks, App Service supports all recent Java long-term support (LTS) versions. There are several key scenarios for which you should consider adopting App Service for your Java applications.
Java SE on App Service
Java SE on App Service allows you to effortlessly deploy your applications to fully managed Java Virtual Machine (JVM) instances. You should consider this stack if you have Spring Boot and Quarkus web applications. However, you can use this stack for any application that can be started directly from a JVM and includes an embedded HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. You can deploy your Java archive (JAR) file and let App Service do the rest.
Tomcat on App Service
This App Service stack supports all recent major and minor versions of Tomcat. You should consider migrating on-premises Tomcat web applications to App Service using this stack. Such applications often use technologies such as the Spring Framework and Hibernate. The stack is also suitable for applications currently running on servers such as WebLogic or WebSphere that can be easily migrated to Tomcat. You can deploy your web application archive (WAR) file and let App Service do the rest.
JBoss EAP on App Service
You can effortlessly run any JBoss EAP version currently supported by Red Hat on this App Service stack. JBoss EAP is fully compatible with the Java Enterprise Edition (EE) and Jakarta EE standards. The stack can optionally support any application that requires JBoss EAP clustering. You should consider migrating applications currently running on-premises on JBoss EAP and WildFly to this stack. The stack is also suitable for applications running on servers such as WebLogic or WebSphere that can be easily migrated to JBoss EAP. You can deploy your web application archive (WAR) or enterprise archive (EAR) file and let App Service do the rest.
