Microsoft is announcing Azure App Service today, a consolidation of existing Website and Mobile services as well as some exciting new services for workflows and APIs.
Microsoft is making it easier to build apps for any device on their Azure cloud service by consolidating several existing services into a unified model called Azure App Services. Azure Web Sites and Azure Mobile Services are now moved under the Azure App Services banner and they have also added two new services called Logic Apps and API Apps. And perhaps the best part, the new services are effectively free.
All of these features can be used together at one low price. In fact, the new Azure App Service pricing is exactly the same price as our previous Azure Websites offering. If you are familiar with our Websites service you now get all of the features it previously supported, plus additional new mobile support, plus additional new workflow support, plus additional new connectors to dozens of SaaS and on-premises solutions at no extra charge. — Scott Guthrie’s Blog
Web Apps are the Azure Websites rebranded. All of the features previously supported via Azure Websites is still supported under Web Apps. If you’re looking in the preview portal, you’ll find any existing Websites now under the Web Apps option.
Formerly Azure Mobile Services, this service provides all of the core capabilities but with added support for things like:
API Apps allow you create and consume REST based APIs in a scalable and secure. These can then be included in Logic Apps as connectors.
