There are different way to deploy your Web Application in azure. Go to your App service dashboard and select Deployment Center under Deployment menu.
Here we are given an option on how you can deploy your project. But in this tutorial, we will use the Visual Studio publish option to deploy our test Web Application. This is to show you that there are other options for the deployment of apps.

- Open you ASP.NET Core Web Application. Then navigate to Build » publish TestApp. TestApp is the sample project I created.
2. Now, a form will prompt asking you to choose option for publish. Select Azure in the option.
3. You will be prompted to choose target platform. Which in my case it’s Azure App Service(Windows). Click next to proceed.
4. Make sure to log in to your Microsoft account to see the app service you created awhile ago. Then select Finish to proceed with deployment. See the image below.
5. Last step would be to publish your application. See the image below.
After publishing, your website will automatically open in your browser. This time you have successfully deploy your app to Azure using .Net Core 3.1(TLS).
