Build a simple bot using Azure Bot Framework SDK with Python.
We will use an echo template from cookiecutter to be able to create a simple ChatBot using Azure Bot Framework SDK.
An description of this template can be found in this link.
We will use the oficial Azure guide reference to follow the steps to create and test the ChatBot.
Feel free to adapt using another template or to customize as you want :)

Here we will use azcli to be able to set the configurations required.
az login
It will open your browser asking for your credentials. Please login with your Azure Account.
az account set --subscription "<YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION>"
Get the Subscription ID from the Azure portal or using the command az account list
az ad app create --display-name "<YOUR_DISPLAY_NAME>" --password "<YOUR_APP_PASSWORD>" --available-to-other-tenants
Register your App to be able to authenticate users and request access to user resources.
It will returns a json with an appId key. Please save this value to be used in the deployment.
az deployment create --name "<YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME>" \
--template-file "<PATH_OF_JSON_TEMPLATE_FILE>" \
--location "<LOCATION_NAME>" \
--parameters appId="<YOUR_APPID>" \
appSecret="<YOUR_APP_PASSWORD>" \
botId="<UNIQUE_GLOBAL_APP_ID>" \
botSku=<S1 OR F0> \
newAppServicePlanName="<APP_SERVICE_PLAN_NAME>" \
newWebAppName="<WEB_APP_NAME>" \
groupName="<RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME>" \
groupLocation="<LOCATION_NAME>" \
newAppServicePlanLocation="<LOCATION_NAME>"
First zip all the files inside your bot directory (the folder of app.py file).
Pass this .zip to --src parameter of the code bellow:
az webapp deployment source config-zip --resource-group "<resource-group-name>" --name "<name-of-web-app>" --src "code.zip"
