- [Instructor] Another option for hosting your ASP.NET Core applications is Microsoft Azure. Azure is a powerful platform for hosting web and mobile apps. It supports ASP.NET Core out of the box and Microsoft provides plugins for Visual Studio that make it really easy to deploy your application. I'll show you how to get started. There's two things you'll need. If you don't already have an Azure account, you can sign up for free at azure.microsoft.com. You will need to enter a credit card, but you'll only be charged for resources you use. It can take a couple of minutes to provision your account once you sign up. You can use that time to install the tooling for Visual Studio. Grab the latest SDK for Visual Studio at the Azure downloads page. Pick the version of Visual Studio that you use, in my case, Visual Studio 2015, and download the installer. The Azure SDK is a pretty big download, so it can take some time. Once the tools are finished installing, you're good to go. Next, I'll show you how to use Visual Studio to deploy an ASP.NET Core application to the Azure App Service.
