I hope you can help me with the following situation.
We want to deploy an Azure Web App on some sub-applications / virtual-applications. However, what We have researched on the internet has not been very precise with the technique required for this, but I doubt that it cannot be done using ARM.
We appreciate if anyone has information that leads us to achieve the objective or if it is impossible using this technique or it is an Azure bug.
We have tried setting the "IIS Web Application Name" to
We have used extensions:
And the result is always the same, the files remain on the root of the web application.
This is the ARM template that we are using:

Thank you very much for your help in advance.
By default the functionality of MSDeploy is to deploy to a single application and it doesn't understand the concept of sub applications. In order to deploy into the path other than root, you need to add a custom deployment script property under a site extension resource. Answer of @Jahvani, Thanks!
