You have an Azure App Service web app named App1 that is currently hosted on a Free (F1) App Service plan. You need to configure a custom domain named www.contoso.com for App1 and secure it using a free Azure App Service Managed Certificate.
Which five actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, arrange the actions in the correct order.
- 1Scale up the App Service plan to the Basic tier or higher.
- 2Create a DNS CNAME record that maps www.contoso.com to the default Azure App Service domain name.
- 3Add the www.contoso.com custom domain to App1.
- 4Create a free App Service Managed Certificate for www.contoso.com.
- 5Create a Server Name Indication (SNI) SSL binding for www.contoso.com using the managed certificate.
Answer
To configure the custom domain and secure it with an App Service Managed Certificate, you must first scale up the App Service plan to the Basic tier or higher. Next, create a DNS CNAME record mapping the custom domain to the default App Service URL. Then, add the custom domain to the App Service. Afterward, create the free App Service Managed Certificate for the custom domain. Finally, create a Server Name Indication (SNI) SSL binding for the custom domain using the managed certificate.
The correct order follows the logical dependency chain of Azure App Service configurations: first, upgrade the hosting environment (App Service plan) to support the required features. Second, prepare the external DNS routing. Third, register and verify the custom domain on the App Service. Fourth, generate the TLS/SSL certificate for the verified domain. Fifth, create the SSL binding to secure the incoming traffic.
