This article explains how to deploy WebJobs by using the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com) to upload an executable or script. WebJobs is a feature of [Azure App Service](index.yml) that allows you to run a program or script in the same instance as a web app. All app service plans support WebJobs. There's no extra cost to use WebJobs.
