Azure Static Web (SWA) is a free web host that allows you to host static websites easily. SWA enables you to build static websites without additional configuration or host management. Azure links directly with GitHub or Azure DevOps to monitor and deploy changes to production env. The static files serving enables SWA to deliver files much faster to end users.

Many companies today use cloud infrastructure to quickly and easily deploy new applications to scale their business. To avoid complications of hosting and managing, static site hosting offers an easy and reliable solution. It enables organizations to offload the host management while also taking advantage of native integration with Azure services.
