Microsoft Azure App Service Initial Setup
The initial setup was easy. However, understanding the configuration was important because everything was very systematic. The configuration is slow without understanding the systematic process.
Deployment is fast, and it takes a few seconds to publish it. This often occurs in our application because we have to make changes, but not all of our staff are involved in deployment. We take 15 minutes from the client and 15 for testing, but it takes only two to three minutes to publish.

The initial setup for Microsoft Azure App Service isn't that complex, but it still depends on experience. It's a basic deployment where you define the subscription and the resources you need to connect, depending on how you connect further. For example, you need to configure the code or container or contain it as a static web. Then, you can choose operating systems, such as Linux or Windows, and select the region.
If you need to connect Microsoft Azure App Service to the GitHub repositories for DevOps, you can also connect it. It would be best if you then defined the networks, the monitoring, and the tags. You also define your application insights. For example, it could be a crown jewel app you will configure. You can also configure the detection, and the process is also straightforward to define, security-wise.

The deployment of Microsoft Azure App Service was simple. We had integrated cases with everything set up for us. It didn't require much knowledge. Anyone with basic knowledge can do it. It doesn't require an extraordinary person. It's one of the easiest setups.
The deployment of the solution does not take long. It is very simple and can take as little as 30 to 40 minutes.
We use scripts and execute them for the deployment. We have some scripts that are automated. Everything is based on script-based automation. We follow the DevOps process to create and deploy the applications.
Once it is configured, it doesn't require any additional resources. Only if there are any corrections needed, then we would require resources. Otherwise, the pipeline is automated and there is no need for manual intervention unless there is a problem.
I rate the initial setup of Microsoft Azure App Service a seven out of ten.
The setup for Microsoft Azure App Service is very straightforward. All you have to do is navigate to the portal, search for the App Services, curate one, give it a name, select a location, region, and resource group, then customize the number of RAM you want. Do you want a disk to be attached to it? Do you want to do some modern networking parameters which are not requirements?
The basic requirements for setting up Microsoft Azure App Service are very straightforward, so anyone who can power his computer can get started with.
You also have several deployment options to choose from for Microsoft Azure App Service which would make life easy. You can deploy from your existing repository, or you can upload your code directly, so for me, the setup is quite easy for the solution.
How long Microsoft Azure App Service deployment usually takes depends on the content, specifically the size of the content you want to deploy to it. At most, if you have a one-page website, the solution takes less than five minutes to deploy, which is quite fast, so you can get your sites up and running in less than twenty minutes with the setup and deployment, so the process is considerably okay.

Some people are comfortable using the CLI shop, and some don't like going to the portal and creating the app service. I believe Azure did very well in that aspect.

As a part of my company's partnership with Microsoft, I was involved in the implementation process of Microsoft Azure App Service.
On a scale of one to ten, where one is the difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase, I rate the setup phase a nine and a half out of ten. The setup process of Microsoft Azure App Service is relatively easier and less complex.
It took me a couple of days to deploy the solution, including deploying a few solutions.
We had to go through with the development team and the client's team to understand the flow of their application, including the logic, and all other different components, having a dependency on Microsoft Azure App Service for the setup phase. We also had to understand how it would function, and then we had to devise a strategy accordingly. We enabled the firewall and communication since, obviously, the traffic should have to go through a firewall, after which we can configure routing and firewall rules accordingly.
The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward.

It only takes about a week to deploy a bare-bones product. To have an end-to-end solution, it only takes 20 to 30 days.

The initial setup is easy. You can set it up through the portal, a template, or Terraform. It integrates with other features like Docker so if you have your image in Docker Hub or ECR, you can select the image, and it pulls those images in and runs your application.
It has many features, and other deployment methods like Bitbucket, FTP, DevOps, and GitLab can integrate these things into Microsoft Azure App Service. It is easy to set up because you don't need to start building servers. We also don't need to complete any maintenance.

The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment is fast if you just want to create a roadmap and the database, but that is if you know what you're doing. If the deployment is too complex, you might want to use an expert to help you. I'm not familiar with the technology and I haven't done web development myself. But I just followed some articles and then did everything myself. So it's not difficult at all. You can also go to Azure's web portal and follow their instructions.
View full review »Installing Azure App Service has been challenging at times. Whether deploying through Azure pipelines or directly from Azure, the process can be time-consuming due to configuration complexities. We have encountered instances where resolving issues took days or even two to three weeks to complete the deployment.

The initial setup was reasonably straightforward. We've kind of been taking slow steps and migrating requirements as we gradually move certain tasks or certain processes into the cloud. We've done all the deployment ourselves.

The initial setup is not too simple but not too complex. The interface makes it easy to use if you have known it for a while. For me, it's easy because I've already gotten used to it. But it could be, complex if you haven't.
The initial setup level of difficulty is dependent on what you want exactly. To set up a website on the app service, for example, is very easy for a simple website because all you need is to develop your website, build it with the Visual Studio, and configure. Once you want to deploy to app service, once you finish, it's only one button you click and everything will be deployed. It's very easy.
Deployment depends on how big your website is, so I cannot say exactly how long it will take in every case, but it is quite fast. It depends what are you sending, how many megabytes you're sending to the app service, but the app service is very fast. If you have a small website, just a few megabytes, 2, 3, 4, megabytes, you will see that it is very fast, but if you have a website with a lot of updates that takes probably five minutes, or ten minutes. That's because you need to push data to push the files to app service. The thing that I can tell you about the in-app service is that because the in-app service normally uses clocks, that means you have a development environment, staging and production environment, the customer can push more into the development environment or staging and then swap. And to swap is quite fast as well. That's the only bottleneck that is possible but Microsoft guarantees no downtime.
Most of the time we configure the ICG configuration and we put the effort in at the beginning to set up the pipeline and want to set it up so that it works automatically, so if you want to start a push code or anything will be deployed automatically. That way, fewer people are required down the road.

The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward. The best part is how quickly you can deploy the solution. It's just two or three clicks and you are up and running.
Overall, the deployment is good as, apart from this viable network, we have actually a 90.999% of it up and running.
