Where does the wwwroot folder go when I use "Publish" inside Visual Studio to deploy to Azure Web Apps?
When new instances are created, where does wwwroot folder comes from?
Is wwwroot referenced inside Azure Storage or is it in the local storage of each instance?
How to serve wwwroot files from Azure CDN instead of serving from Azure Web Apps?
As described here in the Kudu docs: https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Understanding-the-Azure-App-Service-file-system:
The storage is shared across your instances. Azure Storage is used behind the scenes for this.
The storage is also persistent.
As for setting up the CDN to serve files from your Web App, you can refer to documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-web-tutorial-content-delivery-network?toc=%2fazure%2fcdn%2ftoc.json.
If you setup the origin hostname as yourapp.azurewebsites.net, then content that would be accessed via yourapp.azurewebsites.net/myimage.png can then be accessed via CDN from yourcdn.azureedge.net/myimage.png.

We published our application to Azure Web App via Azure Dev Ops. When we SFTP into the Web App we can only see hostingstart.html, yet side loads and we can see proper files in Kuded and App Service Editor. There is only 1 deployment slot in our Azure Web App. How is that possible
Check if WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE is set to "1" in application settings. This setting doesn't extract the package content to the D:\home\site\wwwroot directory of your app. Instead, it uploads the ZIP file as-is to D:\home\data\SitePackages, and creates a packagename.txt in the same directory, that contains the name of the ZIP package to load at runtime.

I created a Azure function and deployed my build ReactJS app on it:
I can find all the files in my /wwwroot folder:
When I visit the URL I see:
What do I need to do to run my React app on Azure Function?
I guess your goal is to run a static website in a serverless way. While it is possible to serve files from Functions, a better way is to store the website files in Blob Storage static website hosting. A reference architecture is available from Microsoft's documentation.
This video explains how to create a pipeline to deploy your files to Blob Storage.
You can then use Functions as a proxy to the files in Storage.
I created an app service at http://testsam.controltrackonline.com, it loads properly. I have also created a folder within it called webapi but it does not load up and does not allow publishing content to it via appVeyor. The non loading folder location can be loaded here http://testsam.controltrackonline.com/webapi
I do not see any permissions issues surrounding this as other app services with same settings load well with folder within. But for this appservice there seems to an issue.
Any ideas?
It seems that you'd like to publish content to an Azure web app virtual directory, so please make sure you configure virtual directory or application under Application settings blade in the Azure Portal.
Note: you can also refer to "Deploying multiple virtual directories to a single Azure Website" to set up the virtual directory or application.
I have also created a folder within it called webapi but it does not load up and does not allow publishing content to it via appVeyor.
I do not see any permissions issues surrounding this as other app services with same settings load well with folder within. But for this appservice there seems to an issue.
Please try to use FTP or Kudu to access your Azure web site folder, and then you can try to upload your content package to webapi folder and check if it works as expected.
Besides, If issue only appear on that specific app service, you can create an Azure support request, Azure support can help you investigate the issue.
I have deployed my web app and the cloud service on windows azure. Web app saved some of the image files on its own directory lets say on root of the website there is folder name "Content" and web app save the image files on this folder. is there a way a cloud service can access files inside that folder? cloud service is separate project and hence has its own url and hosted on windows azure portal.
AFAIK, it is not possible to share files stored in a web app with a cloud service. What you should do instead is save the files in Blob Storage. That way both Web App and Cloud service can have access to the files.
Another option you have is Azure File Services, you will have the chance to used as a network shared location.
take a look at this here:

I have migrated and deployed my asp.net (2010) application to windows azure cloud service.
I have small doubts here.
In my previous hosting my application files(media, documents) are located in the local folder of ftp site. And storage (db ) was in server. But according to windows azure i just deployed my application to cloud with db created in windows azure portal.
i). How can i use my previous files here?
I'd recommend you store the files that used to be in FTP in Azure Blob storage https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/blob-storage/. If you put them to blob storage you can use something like Cloudxplorer http://clumsyleaf.com/products/cloudxplorer to browse them and upload them. If you really want to use FTP (which I'd not recommend as it an insecure protocol) there is also a blob storage to FTP bridge http://ftp2azure.codeplex.com/
