Activating the static website feature on an Azure blob container automatically configures primary endpoints for serving web traffic.

#6 about 4 min

Deploying the Blazor application to an Azure web container

Uploading compiled Blazor project assets directly into the storage container makes the application accessible through generated web endpoints.

#7 about 3 min

Connecting a Blazor application to an Azure Function backend

Deploying an Azure function API endpoint provides a secure method to query database resources and pass credentials to the frontend.

#8 about 4 min

Resolving common CORS restrictions and target framework deployment errors
