How to deploy appsettings values to Azure.

Question

I am trying to deploy an MVC app to Azure to use Azure AD authentication, Everything works fine on localhost, but I can't see where the config parms from appsettings.json would upload to in Azure. I understand that the file is not included when I publish it to Azure, but I can't get the values from appsettings.json below :

{
"Logging": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
}
},
"AllowedHosts": "*",
"AzureAd": {
"Instance": "https://login.microsoftonline.com/",
"Domain": "MyDomain",
"TenantId": "123456789...",
"ClientId": "987654321.....",
"CallbackPath": "/signin-oidc"
},
"MicrosoftGraph": {
"BaseUrl": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0",
"Scopes": "user.read"
}
}
To fit into the configuration tab's Application Settings , which even in Advanced edit, is expecting a different JSON structure :
EG
{
"name": "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT",
"value": "Development",
"slotSetting": false
}

Please can you advise how to get the parameters deployed.

Thanks in advance

Your package only contains files that are used in the web app code its self. The Application settings on the app service are separate and need to be configured through the UI, CLI or using Infrastructure as Code such as Bicep or Terraform.
