Kudu is insanely powerful. There's a browser-based console (https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Kudu-console https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Kudu-console) where you can run git operations, copy files, npm, etc. It supports deployment and web hooks. The new feature is Azure Site Extensions (https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Azure-Site-Extensions https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Azure-Site-Extensio...). Kudu is automatically set up for any Azure Web Site (https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Accessing-the-kudu-service https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Accessing-the-kudu-...). If your web site has URL http://mysite.azurewebsites.net/ http://mysite.azurewebsites.net/ , then the root URL of the Kudu service is https://mysite.scm.azurewebsites.net/ https://mysite.scm.azurewebsites.net/.
