Web App Deploy in App Service of Azure

Question

I published one project from visual studio in one of the app service that I existed in my azure account. Now, I want to check that project in the app service on the azure portal. How to verify that if that project exists (web app) in app service.

Answer 1

Presumably simply by accessing the website - if your intended project loads in your browser then it must be there.

But you can view the raw files that make-up an Azure App Service by going:

1. portal.azure.com
2. Left-hand sidebar > App Services
3. Click on your website
4. Scroll down the App Service "blade"'s left-hand menu to Development Tools > Advanced Tools (icon is a blue swiss-army knife)
5. A link will appear on the right pane that says "Go 🢂"
6. This will open Kudu, the web address will be of the form https://{appServiceName}.scm.azurewebsites.net
7. In the top navigation bar, choose Debug Console > CMD (or PowerShell, depending on your preference)
8. The filesystem in an Azure Website is virtualised and segregated on the D:\ volume.
9. Navigate to D:\home\site\wwwroot. This is the root of your website. Your Web Deploy files will be located under there, varying based on your Web Deploy configuration.
