Hey Kirsten,
You should be able to deploy to a web app and keep the costs under your MSDN Azure credit limit. Perhaps try doing a publish from within Visual Studio, you can set it to create the web app for you, including the size. Right click project, select Publish and follow the prompts. Go for the smallest size, or maybe even the shared size and you should be ok. As a pro tip, when I create Azure resources I put them into their own Resource, that's a nice way to keep them all together. If you want to delete the whole lot later and start over (for whatever reason) you can delete the Resource and all of its contents in one go. Just make sure you don't have anything in there you want, obviously. 😊 hope that helps Stephen ________________________________ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com <ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> on behalf of kirsten greed <kirsten.gr...@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, 21 April 2018 7:50:58 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: Deploying .Net Core 2.0 to IIS running on Windows Server 2012R2 Hi folks I am wondering how best to test deploying my .Net Core 2.0 Api The production computer is running Windows Server 2012R2, so I thought I would try testing on an Azure VM. When I tried to do this I found myself led into the Marketplace to use an image from CloudHubTech with the cost not being covered by my MSDN Azure credits. This causes me to pause and wonder if Docker might be a better way forward. Any wisdom on how I should proceed would be appreciated. Thanks Kirsten
