Build Microsoft has announced a new App Service for Azure, now in preview, designed for applications built using the JAMstack pattern.
Azure App Service is one of the earliest Azure services, and one of the most useful. You can deploy a application for Windows or Linux, and the service will provide the resources on which to run it, with load balancing and auto-scaling. That said, the new service has little in common with existing App Service plans, because the underlying technology is different.
