PowerServer 2021: How to Deploy to Azure
summary
Creates an Azure App Service (Windows, .NET Core) and a SQL Azure server, migrates a local SQL Server database, then updates PowerServer connection caches and Web API URL to point at the Azure hosts. Packages client and API as separate folders, uploads a single zip via FTP (use FileZilla because Azure’s FTP root sits above wwwroot), adds a web.config to allow .json downloads, edits launchSettings.json to set the launchUrl and account for kestrel vs IIS, watches for the required tcp: prefix on DB hostnames and creates a virtual application mapping for /webapi.
