I have an ASP.NET Core MVC application along with Entity Framework Core. Now I would like to host that application in Azure. I am new to Azure, so I don't know what needs to be configured on Azure before publishing the application to Azure.
Like Sajeetharan said you can quickly publish your ASP.NET MVC Application in Azure easily from Visual Studio itself.
But you need to understand how this actually works within azure
WebApps
The service which is used to host every Web Application (PaaS) is called Azure Web Web.
App Service Plan
An App Service plan is the container for your app. The App Service plan settings will determine the location, features, cost and compute resources associated with your app. The Cost is based on the App Service plan and not the WebApps
While publishing your web applications in Azure, is nothing but just deploying your code to WebApps.
Update 1
Happy Coding !
You do not have to configure anything, if you already have an Azure subscribe just connect to your azure account via visual studio and create a new Web App to publish your code.
