You can deploy you bot to Azure. Its a MVC WebApi project like others. If you need SMTP mail, you can use services like SendMail to that. For Databases, you can also use one of the many that azure provides (eg. DocumentDB, SqlAzure).

We have set up the following network:
chatbot setup
Our internal chatbot is written in C#, and runs in .NET core linux env.
As of now, we are able to use the Bot Framework's Web Cmd to Send and Receive from our Internal Chatbot. But we are unable to use MS Teams to communicate with our Internal Chat Bot. We have set up App ID and App Password in the MS Team's App via App Studio.
We also enabled External App and Sideloading.
Is there any way to troubleshoot this? or is there something we may have missed?
Thanks in advance
As per this documentation, You need to also enable the Teams channel for your bot in the Azure Portal under Bot Management > Channels, for this to work.
I have created an BOT with Microsoft BOT Framework and published in local IIS. Now I want to connect that from my web application, So far I found this could be only possible through direct line from azure portal. Is there any other way to do that?

In my opinion, the Microsoft BOT Framework application is just a service which provide the bot endpoint. You could host it in anywhere.
If you want to connect to your web application or something else. You need to use a channel to connect the bot with other application. You should register the bot and enable the channel to let your bot work. The Azure provide multiple chanels to register the bot like webchat. You could also build the channel by yourself, but you should think about a lot of things.

How to connect local hosted Azure BOT from your web application
A bot is essentially a web API and so it can be hosted on any web service.
I am abit confused when one of the following approaches should be prefered over each other:
Option #1 Host a Bot on Azure Bot Service
Option #2 Host a bot as a plain PaaS Web API
Currently I am hosting my bot on a plain Azure PaaS App Services. It is working very well.
However, I expect there must be some advantages to hosting a bot on Azure Bot Service.
When I go through the documentations the following example shows how to Create an Azure Bot Service in Azure Portal, download its code, change it then deploy it again to the same Azure Bot Service:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/bot-service-build-download-source-code?view=azure-bot-service-4.0
In contrast, the following example shows how to build a bot in Visual Studio and publish it to an Azure Web App:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/bot-builder-howto-deploy-azure?view=azure-bot-service-4.0
What are the advantages of hosting a bot on Azure Bot Service?
Is there any resource or article that contrasts the two options?
They are essentially the same thing under the hood. A bot is basically just an API endpoint so there are many ways to host you bot. If you create A bot service you get options to add other services from the creation page. Whereas if you just create a web app or app service you will have to manually add these things.
Creating a Web App Bot will allow you to all in one step create:
Bot Channels Registration
Choose a template to start with
Configure a Luis app
Add Azure Storage
Add application insights
I am using Bot builder SDK 4.0 with node.js
I don't wanna use Azure bot service api, instead I will use my own node service.
Requirement :
Wanted to have a complete Custom UI/UX for my bot.
Single Azure bot application with many different bot clients running.
If you use the BotFramework with the default BotFramework adapter, you will be using the Azure Bot Service APIs like the DirectLine channel. You can use the BotFramework-DirectLineJS package if you want to build your own webclient for your BotBuilder bot.
Also note that at the time of writing, the BotFramework-Webchat package has a new version in preview which you can find here. This version is rebuilt from scratch and provides rich customization options which could be worth a try.
The example in MS Official website is a skybot and needs to register it to Bot Framework developer portal before using it.
Is it possible to connect my bot and Microsoft Lync/Skype for Business in the intranet directly?
How do I do?
No its not possible.
Firstly, lync is not a valid channel for the framework (Skype for Business isn't either,but it seems like the devs might be working on adding Skype for Business)
vote to add skype for business here
They also aren't planning on creating Enterprise only bots source
