Deploy your bot

[!INCLUDE applies-to-v4]

In this article we will show you how to deploy a basic bot to Azure. We will explain how to prepare your bot for deployment, deploy your bot to Azure, and test your bot in Web Chat. It would be useful to read this article before following the steps, so that you fully understand what is involved in deploying a bot.

Important

Make sure you are using the latest version of the Azure CLI. If you are using an Azure CLI version older than 2.2.0, you will encounter errors of CLI commands deprecation. Also, do not mix Azure CLI deployment shown in this article with Azure portal deployment.

Prerequisites

[!INCLUDE deploy prerequisite]

Prepare for deployment

[!INCLUDE deploy prepare intro]

1. Login to Azure

[!INCLUDE deploy az login]

2. Set the subscription

[!INCLUDE deploy az subscription]

3. Create the application registration

[!INCLUDE deploy create app registration]

4. Create the bot application service

When creating the bot application service, you can deploy your bot in a new or in an existing resource group, both via the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template. An ARM template is a JSON file that declaratively defines one or more Azure resources and that defines dependencies between the deployed resources. Make sure that you have the correct path to your bot project ARM deployment templates directory DeploymentTemplates, you need it to assign the value to the template file. Choose the option that works best for you:

Important

Python bots cannot be deployed to a resource group that contains Windows services/bots. Multiple Python bots can be deployed to the same resource group, but create other services (LUIS, QnA, etc.) in another resource group.

Deploy via ARM template (with new Resource Group)

[!INCLUDE ARM with new resource group]

Deploy via ARM template (with existing Resource Group)

[!INCLUDE ARM with existing resource group]

5. Prepare your code for deployment

5.1 Retrieve or create necessary files

[!INCLUDE retrieve or create IIS/Kudu files]

5.2 Zip up the code directory manually

[!INCLUDE zip up code]

Deploy code to Azure

[!INCLUDE deploy code to Azure]

Test in Web Chat

[!INCLUDE test in web chat]

Additional information

Deploying your bot to Azure will involve paying for the services you use. The billing and cost management article helps you understand Azure billing, monitor usage and costs, and manage your account and subscriptions.
