Difficulty: EasyConfigure Azure App Service Plans

An administrator manages a web app hosted on an Azure App Service plan named ASP1. ASP1 is currently configured on the Basic (B1) pricing tier. You need to configure the hosting environment to meet the following requirements:
- Enable testing of web app updates in a staging slot before swapping to production.
- Enable automatic scale-out based on CPU utilization.
- Minimize costs.
Which two actions should you perform? (Select two.)

  1. Scale up ASP1 to the Standard (S1) pricing tier.Answer
  2. Configure autoscale rules for ASP1.Answer
  3. C
    Scale up ASP1 to the Premium v3 (P1v3) pricing tier.
  4. D
    Configure manual scale-out for ASP1 to three instances.

Answer

Scale up ASP1 to the Standard (S1) pricing tier and configure autoscale rules for ASP1.
To satisfy both requirements (deployment slots and automatic scaling) at the lowest cost, you must scale up the App Service plan from Basic (B1) to Standard (S1). The Standard tier is the minimum tier that supports up to 55 deployment slots and autoscale rules. Once scaled up, you must configure autoscale rules to enable the automatic scaling behavior based on CPU utilization.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the requirements for the App Service plan configuration.
The requirements are 55 deployment slots (staging environment), automatic scale-out based on CPU utilization, and cost minimization.
This determines the minimum pricing tier and configuration changes needed.
2
Compare the capabilities of Azure App Service pricing tiers against the requirements.
The Basic (B1) tier does not support deployment slots or autoscale (only manual scale up to 33 instances). The Standard (S1) tier is the lowest and most cost-effective tier that supports both deployment slots (up to 55) and autoscale (up to 1010 instances).
Choosing the most cost-effective tier ensures budget optimization while meeting all technical requirements.
3
Identify the configuration steps needed to complete the setup.
Scaling up the App Service plan to the Standard (S1) pricing tier must be performed, followed by configuring autoscale rules.
Scaling up unlocks the features, and configuring autoscale rules enables the automatic scale-out behavior.
