• The following Application Settings need to be added:
  • DataAccountName: Name of the Cosmos DB Account
  • DataAccountPassword: Primary Key of the Cosmos DB Account
  • ApplicationInsights__InstrumentationKey: Instrumentation Key of the App Insights Resource
  • DataServiceUrl: The URL to the Data Service, only over HTTP
  • ItineraryServiceUrl: The URL to the Itinerary Service, only over HTTP
• Verify that you can browse to the URL of the App Service and get the website to display.

Success Criteria

1. You have deployed the web front end container into a Linux App Service Web App.
2. You have verified that the web app’s URL loads and shows our app.
