What is the benefit of this script? Pushing the build folder rightaway to Azure seems to work the same.

What about deployment to other services like amazon? Is it possible to make this system deployable to S3 somehow (looks like currently its very node based)

I wouldn't say this script is entirely suitable. It would work, but it leverages Azure's default assumption of in-place deployment. Getting Kudu to do a full production build within the Web App sandbox to eliminate the possibility of any side-effects from the committer's local machine.
