How to deploay an webservice in azure from binaries

Question

Is there an option to deploy a azure web app (webservice) from binaries instead of using the publisher profile in visual studio?

I have a deploymend ready webservice which needs to be deployed in azure.

The scope of the webservice is, that each customer can host this (with a small instruction) in his own azure tenand.

So the goal would be to just put in a .zip with the soapservice (wsdl, xml, binaries, etc.. ). Is this on some way possible to configure?

You can go to https://yourappname.scm.azurewebsites.net -> Debug console -> CMD -> go to /site/wwwroot -> Drag-and-drop your files as a zip file to the right edge of the file listing -> the zip file gets unpacked automatically.

This is perhaps the easiest way to "just deploy files". You can read more on it from for example here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/benjaminperkins/2017/12/28/deploy-to-an-azure-app-service-using-kudu-and-a-zip-file/ .

For a more repeatable deployment, I do suggest automating the process and using either WebDeploy, FTP, ZipDeploy, or the local Git repository to do deployments.
