Create the App Service

  az webapp create --name MyWebApiApp --resource-group MyRG --plan MySP

From the Build menu, select Publish MyWebApiApp.

If the menu option is a greyed out “Publish Selection”, check that you are currently viewing a file belonging to the MyWebApiApp project - you could possibly be viewing a file from your unit test project for example.
