How to deploy api c# on azure and there is no entity framework migration in publish?

Question

I am trying to publish the api c# on a host service. I tried using Microsoft azure. The api is published but I can get or post the data. I figured out that I couldn't find the entity framework migration option in the publish, so I thought this might be the problem. I need to know how to find this option.

Please check if my workaround helps to fix the issue: when building the Web Application and connecting to the Azure SQL database server, there is a need of connecting SQL Server Entity framework in my project.

I have run similar command like

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef

which was not working and throwing the error like that tool package cannot be restored and dotnet-ef failed to install, many other errors.

When I run the same command again but with explicitly versioning, then it is worked:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef --version 5.0.1

Similarly, based on your requirement of the entity framework version and the dotnet version in the project, run that command using versioning which helps to fix the issue.
