Hi, @Promit Bhattacherjee

I understand that you want to deploy a web job program to App Service instead of a web application.

First, are you using the App Service for Windows?
Please note that web jobs are not supported on Linux. In that case, we recommend migrating to Azure Functions.

Next, for deployment, you can upload via the Azure portal by following the steps below.

If you have any additional questions, please comment in this thread. We can support you.

@Promit Bhattacherjee to add to the great answer that @Takahito Iwasa provided, Python is no longer supported on Windows Azure Web Apps so you would have to use a Linux Azure Web App for your Python App.

To assist you further, I would suggest checking out this document here, which talks about the steps of how to create a web app and then deploy your site files.

As previously shared, Web Jobs are not supported on Linux Web Apps. The workaround for that, you would need to do something like creating a time triggered Function app. Steps on how to do that are covered here.

If you have further questions, please let us know. We are excited to have you use Azure!
