Create the Web Service

In this configuration example, acmelabs is used as the name of the Web Service component.

This name is used for example purposes. In your configuration, use a name that is appropriate to your business requirements.

3. Fill in the required fields in the Basics tab:

   • Subscription: Select an appropriate subscription.

   • Resource group: Select a resource group as the residence of the Web Service.
     You can also create a new resource group.

   • Name: Enter a name for the Web Service.

     The name of the Web Service must be unique in the Azure environment and not bound to the current subscription of your business.

   • Publish: Code

   • Runtime stack: NET Core 3.1 (LTS)

   • Operating System: Windows

   • Region and App Service Plan: consider your business requirements and select the appropriate options.

     A different Windows Plan than Free F1 can be selected. While the Web Service does not generate a high load, this is dependent on the number of users that concurrently log in.
