How to deploy ASP.NET Core 2.0 to Azure using TFS

Question

I am using Azure to host an ASP.NET Core 2.0 web app, but can't seem to work out how to get this deployed from Team Foundation Server.

With my Web API web app I build the project using the MSBUILD /t:Publish,package parameters. But the package parameter is not supported for ASP.NET Core 2.0 web apps.

When deploying to Azure I need to create the required zip file, and the package parameter created this for me. How do I create the zip file for an ASP.NET Core 2.0 web app? Or is there some other means for deploying an ASP.NET Core 2.0 web app to Azure using TFS?

You are looking for the dotnet publish CLI command. It:

Packs the application and its dependencies into a folder for deployment to a hosting system.

Within the build task where you run the dotnet publish command, you should see the option Zip Published Projects. Finally you should publish the build artifact (zip) to any location and use it within your release definition.
