1-click deploys of Python web apps to Azure

Ever tried the hard way of deploying a Python web app to Azure? Running dozens of commands to spin up all the resources, only to discover you missed a command halfway through? 🤢 Now, thanks to a new tool, the Azure Developer CLI, you can deploy Flask and Django apps with a single command. 🥳

I am a Cloud Advocate in Python at Microsoft, and have been working with the Azure Developer CLI (azd) for the past few months. Once I discovered azd (currently in preview mode), I fell in love, because it is such a better developer experience and a much more robust way of deploying apps to the cloud than previous techniques. It's also a great way for beginners to get started with deployment, which can definitely be a pain these days.
