Running Kentico in Azure Web Apps

Microsoft Azure Web Apps is a service which allows you to create and host websites in the cloud.

Azure Web Apps are quick to create and easy to set up and manage. However, they do not offer as many customization options as Azure Cloud Services. For a more detailed comparison, see Azure App Service, Virtual Machines, Service Fabric, and Cloud Services comparison.
