I made a new ASP.NET web site with ' dotnet new razor' at the command line. This also assumes you have a free Azure account This is 10-15 min tops for download AND install. But I also wanted to see what it was like on Visual Studio Code (which would work on Linux, etc) First, I could use Visual Studio Community (which is free), and just right click Publish, sign into Azure, and make a free Web App and I'm cool. I wanted to see what was the fastest way to get an ASP.NET Core web site up (for free) on Azure.
