Publishing asp.net core to azure… want to use kestrel not IIS in the cloud

Question

When I publish my asp.net core 2.0 to the azure cloud, I have a misconfiguration and I am given an error originating from IIS instead of Kestrel

HTTP Error 502.5 - Process Failure

...

The application process started but failed to listen on the configured port

How can I make Azure cloud use Kestrel and not IIS?

Answer 1

Apparently, this is not possible (yet?)
