Demonstration Scenario: Hosting a Lightweight Marketing Website for a Small Business
Demonstration Scenario: Hosting a Lightweight Marketing Website for a Small Business
A small business requires a straightforward marketing website to display product information, business hours, and contact details. They did not require a full application backend, dynamic content, or a complex hosting environment. They wanted:
A low-cost hosting option
High availability with minimal maintenance
Simple updates
Global reach for their customers

To answer this scenario, I would use Azure Storage Static Website Hosting, which would allow the small business to host the website without configuring or managing a traditional web server. This reduced operational overhead and kept the monthly cost extremely low (potentially pennies per month).

Creating an Azure Storage Account
Creating an Azure Storage Account
I created an Azure Storage Account, which serves as the foundation for hosting a static website. Azure Storage provides a scalable, secure, and cost-effective platform for static content.
Selecting the Storage Account
Selecting the Storage Account
After deployment, I accessed the Storage Account from the Azure portal to configure it for static website hosting. This account uses the StorageV2 kind, which supports static website functionality.
Enabling Static Website Hosting
Enabling Static Website Hosting
Within the Storage Account settings, I enabled the Static website feature. I configured the index document (index.html) and error document (error.html), allowing Azure Blob Storage to host and serve the website content directly.
