Static websites have become very popular in the last few years and are based on the JAMstack (JavaScript, APIs, and Markup) architecture. The generated websites are super lightweight, fast, and easier to develop. As of December 2018, you can host static websites on Azure Storage accounts of the General Purpose v2 (GPv2)type.
In this recipe, we will see how we can configure a storage account to host a static website. We will then deploy a simple static website to this storage account so that we can browse our website.
