Using the Deploy an Azure App Service step

Octopus Deploy now offers a new step called "Deploy an Azure App Service" that facilitates the deployment of containers to Microsoft Azure's App Service. To use this feature, users need an Octopus Deploy instance linked to an Azure account, where a web app is set up within a resource group with 'Docker Container' selected as the publish setting. Configuration within Octopus Deploy requires navigating through Infrastructure and Deployment Targets to add a new Azure Web App as a target, linking it with a Docker Container Registry, and configuring it to deploy container images, such as a sample image from Docker Hub. The process concludes with creating a release and deploying the web app, which can then be accessed via its Azure-hosted URL.
