Once your file is uploaded, App Service shows you the contents of the zip so you can quickly verify what you’re about to deploy. + +![Zip contents]({{site.baseurl}}/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-2.jpg) + +If your application is already built and ready to run, you also have the option to **skip server-side build**. Otherwise, App Service can handle the build step for you. + +When you’re ready, select **Deploy**. + +From there, the deployment starts right away, and you can follow each phase of the process as it happens. The experience shows clear progress through upload, build, and deployment, along with deployment logs to help you understand what’s happening behind the scenes. + +![Deployment steps]({{site.baseurl}}/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-3.jpg) + +After the deployment succeeds, you can also view **runtime logs**, which makes it easier to confirm that your app has started successfully. + +![Runtime logs]({{site.baseurl}}/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-4.jpg) + +This experience is ideal if you're getting started with Azure App Service and want the quickest path from code to a running app. For production workloads and teams with established release processes, you’ll typically continue using an automated CI/CD pipeline (for example, GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps) for repeatable deployments. + +We’re continuing to improve the developer experience on App Service for Linux. Give it a try and let us know what you think. + diff --git a/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-1.jpg b/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-1.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..4a69753954 Binary files /dev/null and b/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-1.jpg differ diff --git a/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-2.jpg b/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-2.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..71d073cd84 Binary files /dev/null and b/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-2.jpg differ diff --git a/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-3.jpg b/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-3.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..53648909d7 Binary files /dev/null and b/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-3.jpg differ diff --git a/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-4.jpg b/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-4.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..301f1d221b Binary files /dev/null and b/media/2026/04/quickdeploy-4.jpg differ
