Web App

Introduction

Azure Web App lets you deploy and run web applications without managing underlying infrastructure. It supports multiple runtimes, app configuration, and integration with App Service plans. Web App is useful for quickly building and testing hosted HTTP applications.

LocalStack for Azure allows you to build and test Web App workflows in your local environment. The supported APIs are available on our API Coverage section, which provides information on the extent of Web App’s integration with LocalStack.

Getting started

This guide is designed for users new to Web App and assumes basic knowledge of the Azure CLI and our azlocal wrapper script.

Start your LocalStack container using your preferred method. Then start CLI interception:

azlocal start_interception

Create a resource group

Create a resource group for your Web App resources:

az group create \
  --name rg-web-demo \
  --location westeurope

Output

{
  "name": "rg-web-demo",
  "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-web-demo",
  "location": "westeurope",
  "properties": {
    "provisioningState": "Succeeded"
  },
  ...
}

Create an App Service plan

Create an App Service plan that will host the web app:

az appservice plan create \
  --name asp-web-doc89 \
  --resource-group rg-web-demo \
  --location westeurope \
  --sku F1

Output

{
  "name": "asp-web-doc89",
  "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-web-demo/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/asp-web-doc89",
  "location": "westeurope",
  "provisioningState": "Succeeded",
  "sku": {
    "name": "B1",
    "tier": "Basic",
    ...
  },
  ...
}

Create and inspect a Web App

Create a web app using a Python runtime:

az webapp create \
  --name ls-web-doc89 \
  --resource-group rg-web-demo \
  --plan asp-web-doc89 \
  --runtime "PYTHON:3.11"

Output

{
  "name": "ls-web-doc89",
  "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-web-demo/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/ls-web-doc89",
  "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites",
  "location": "westeurope",
  "defaultHostName": "ls-web-doc89.azurewebsites.net",
  "state": "Running",
  ...
}

Get the web app:

az webapp show \
  --name ls-web-doc89 \
  --resource-group rg-web-demo

Read and update web app configuration

Read the current web app configuration:

az webapp config show \
  --name ls-web-doc89 \
  --resource-group rg-web-demo

Output

{
  "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-web-demo/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/ls-web-doc89/config/web",
  "linuxFxVersion": "PYTHON|3.11",
  "http20Enabled": true,
  "alwaysOn": false,
  "ftpsState": "FtpsOnly",
  ...
}

Update web app configuration:

az webapp config set \
  --name ls-web-doc89 \
  --resource-group rg-web-demo \
  --always-on false \
  --http20-enabled true

Output

{
  "id": "/subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/rg-web-demo/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/ls-web-doc89",
  "http20Enabled": true,
  "alwaysOn": false,
  ...
}

Delete and verify

Delete the web app and verify it no longer appears:

az webapp delete \
  --name ls-web-doc89 \
  --resource-group rg-web-demo

az webapp list --resource-group rg-web-demo

Output
