📘 Example

Suppose you are a developer creating a company website for “ABC Retail”. Instead of setting up servers manually:

1. You create an Azure Web App in the Azure Portal.
2. Upload or connect your code repository (GitHub/DevOps).
3. Azure automatically deploys the site to https://abcretail.azurewebsites.net.
4. Your website is now live, secure, and can scale automatically with traffic.

Result: ABC Retail’s customers can access the website anytime without downtime, and the IT team doesn’t need to manage servers manually.
