Currently I'm writing a Django (python) application running on Microsoft Azure cloud. Azure offers several different ways to deploy your app:

1. Zip upload


2. Git repository


3. Cloud shell using "az webapp up" command

In the documentation, it's mentioned that build processes are or can be configured to run automatically during the deployment (in this case, running pip install -r requirements.txt). However, no mention of this is made regarding the third option.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Since this is listed as an "experimental command" your best bet for documentation is the man page.

$>az webapp up --help

Command
 az webapp up : (Preview) Create and deploy existing local code to the web app, by running the
 command from the folder where the code is present. Supports running the command in preview mode
 using --dryrun parameter. Current supports includes Node, Python,.NET Core, ASP.NET, staticHtml.
 Node, Python apps are created as Linux apps. .Net Core, ASP.NET and static HTML apps are created
 as Windows apps. If command is run from an empty folder, an empty windows web app is created.

 --dryrun : Show summary of the create and deploy operation instead of executing it.
 --location -l : Location. Values from: `az account list-locations`. You can configure the
 default location using `az configure --defaults location=<location>`.
 --sku : The pricing tiers, e.g., F1(Free), D1(Shared), B1(Basic Small), B2(Basic
 Medium), B3(Basic Large), S1(Standard Small), P1(Premium Small), P1V2(Premium

Examples
 View the details of the app that will be created, without actually running the operation
 az webapp up -n MyUniqueAppName --dryrun


 Create a web app with the default configuration, by running the command from the folder where
 the code to deployed exists.
 az webapp up -n MyUniqueAppName


 Create a web app in a sepcific region, by running the command from the folder where the code to
 deployed exists.
 az webapp up -n MyUniqueAppName -l locationName


 Deploy new code to an app that was originally created using the same command
 az webapp up -n MyUniqueAppName -l locationName

TL:DR run this before deploying az webapp config appsettings set -g MyResourceGroup -n MyUniqueAppName --settings SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT=true

PS C:> az webapp config appsettings set --h

Command
 az webapp config appsettings set : Set a web app's settings.

Arguments
 --settings : Space-separated appsettings in a format of <name>=<value>.
