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.

While there are several options as mentioned Brents answer (and comments), I find one simple option as easiest.

  1. Create a website from the Azure portal.
  2. Go to: https://{sitename}.scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole
  3. Navigate to: site/wwwroot
  4. Drag drop your files (html/js/css/...).

Done

(browse to http://{sitename}.azurewebsites.net/ to see your site).

Note: You can also edit your files from this view.
