Publish website in minutes with Kudu & "Monaco", just using browser

With the Azure Portal, Kudu & online editor, it is possible to publish a website with static web pages in minutes, all within the browser - no desktop tools required!

After creating a new Azure Web App through the portal, go to your Windows Azure Web App’s Kudu dashboard using this URL -  https://{your site name}.scm.azurewebsites.net (in other words, add .scm in front of the site name).

Click on the Site extensions tab and pick Visual Studio Online (really bad naming for the online editor considering VSO is also the former name of the cloud version of Visual Studio ALM tool)

Create static pages using the lightweight browser-based "Monaco" editor.

The pages get saved automatically and the site pages can be viewed instantly!
