I plan to move all my websites from my own baremetal server to Microsoft Azure. To get things started I want to do a POC and deploy a very simple static microsite - a single html page with some css/img/js resources.

Configure static website hostingOpen the Azure portal in your web browser. Locate your storage account and display the account overview. Select Static website to display the configuration page for static websites. Select Enabled to enable static website hosting for the storage account.
Create a Website in Azure Management PortalStep 1 − Login to your management portal. Step 2 − Click 'New' at the left bottom corner of the screen → Compute → Web Apps → Quick Create. Step 3 − Enter the details as shown in the picture above and click 'Create Web App'.
Web apps in Azure allow you to publish and manage your website easily without having to work with the underlying servers, storage, or network assets.
Azure Static Web Apps publishes a website by building an app from a code repository. In this quickstart, you deploy an application to Azure Static Web apps using the Visual Studio Code extension. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free trial account.
Actually, yes. Azure Storage is specifically designed to serve files as quickly as possible. Static sites are just files. And because God loves you and wants you to be happy, there is VS Code.

You can do create a website on Azure in 3 simple steps. Step 1 : Select app type (Select Web App) Step 2 : Select template (Select which ever you are comfortable with) Step 3 : Work with your app After you have created the Web apps there are multiple ways to work with the site you have created,
If you start with a simple Web App (the best option IMHO for a static website), you can opt to create the site without deploying one of the pre-defined web app templates. This will allow you to publish your own content files via either FTP or Git.
A basic walk through of this is available online here. There's also multiple additional links off of that one that can provide additional information about running web apps in Azure.
If you use the "free" (F1) service plan, you'll be able to host up to 10 web sites per region at that level. Just keep in mind the resource/usage limits associated with each service plan.

While there are several options as mentioned Brents answer (and comments), I find one simple option as easiest.
