Kudu is the central nervous system of a Microsoft Azure Web App.
To access your Kudu console, navigate to https://appname.scm.azurewebsites.net. (note: open the kudu console under a new tab in the same browser as you are logged into the azure portal)
Once you open the kudu you should see the console.
