How to Deploy a Build in Visual Studio Online

I just started using Visual Studio Online, and figured out how to create builds online. I need the build deployed to Azure, but I see that the builds still need to be deployed. There is a Deployed tab with nothing under it, which just says "no builds have been deployed today by anyone". How do I deploy the builds?

The Deployed tab is if you are setting up the continuous deployment workflow to Azure as described here.

Another method is trying the Release Management Service in Visual Studio Online and you can get started here. You will need Visual Studio Premium or Visual Studio Ultimate to get access to the release management workflow definition experience for this option.

In addition to Ed's steps, I found that since I created the project initially in Visual Studio, not Azure, I then had to go to Azure, and select "Set up deployment from source control", then select Visual Studio Online. Azure then asks for the URL of my Visual Studio Online account, and connects the two. Now all the connections are made and deployment can be initiated from VSO or VS when commits are made if that option is selected.

I never found the "Create release definition" option as described in the documentation. But it turns out I didn't need it.
