linux - Hosting Two Website Under one Web App - Azure Services

Question

I want to deploy multiple websites on a single azure website. I have tried to deploy multiple websites on the Windows environment and it works fine.

Now, I am trying to deploy same for Linux environment but i can't seem to find my way out. On the Windows, Azure Web Apps have a configuration page for “path mappings”, they allow you to specify what sub-directories contain a standalone application, and you can map a URL to them.

On the Linux Environment, there is no configuration page for “Virtual Applications and Directories”. It only shows Mount storage (Preview).

I would like to know if there is any easy way to configure virtual applications and directories on Azure for linux environment

I want to have my urls as example.com and example.com/api

example.com/api is a child project to example.com
