Example: Deploying a Static Website to Azure Blob Storage

Static websites can be hosted directly from Azure Blob Storage. This is a cost-effective and highly scalable way to serve static content like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.

Steps:

  1. Create a Storage Account: Ensure you have an Azure Storage account. If not, create one via the Azure portal.
  2. Enable Static Website Hosting: In your storage account settings, navigate to "Static website" and enable it. Provide an index document name (e.g., index.html) and an error document path (e.g., 404.html). This will create a container named $web.
  3. Upload Your Files: Upload your static website files (HTML, CSS, JS, images) to the $web container using Azure Storage Explorer or the Azure portal.

Code Snippet (Conceptual - HTML):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>My Azure Static Site</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Welcome to my Azure Hosted Static Website!</h1>
    <p>This content is served directly from Azure Blob Storage.</p>
    <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

After following these steps, your static website will be accessible via a public URL provided by Azure. For advanced configurations like custom domains and HTTPS, refer to the official Azure documentation.
