How to update msbuild on Azure?

In Azure SCM Debug Console, when I run msbuild /version I get:

msbuild /version
D:\home\site\wwwroot
Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 14.0.23107.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

14.0.23107.0

When I run it on my work machine I get: 

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 14.0.25420.1
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

14.0.25420.1

Version 14.0.25420.1 of msbuild is installed in "Microsoft Build Tools 2015 Update 3". Is there a way to update the msbuild version on my azure instance?

Using the latest Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform and Microsoft.Net.Compilers NuGet packages on your WebApp as well as your Class Libraries and Console Apps will use the latest build tasks & props\targets, which resolves the issue I was seeing and avoids the need to update MSBuild in the Azure App Services environment.
