Difficulty: MediumConfigure Azure App Service Plans

A company is migrating an internal reporting application to Azure App Service. The migration team has identified the following requirements for the hosting environment:
- The application must be accessible securely using a custom domain name and a custom SSL certificate.
- The application must be automatically backed up once every 24 hours to prevent data loss.
- The application runs on a single dedicated instance and does not require automatic horizontal scaling.

You need to recommend the most cost-effective App Service plan tier that meets all requirements.

Which App Service plan tier should you recommend?

  1. A
    Basic (B1)
  2. B
    Shared (D1)
  3. Standard (S1)Answer
  4. D
    Premium V3 (P1v3)

Answer

Standard (S1) tier
The Standard (S1) tier is correct because it is the most cost-effective dedicated App Service plan tier that supports custom SSL certificates (SNI or IP-based) and the Backup and Restore feature, which allows up to 10 backups per day.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the requirements: custom domain with SSL, automated backups once per 24 hours, and a single dedicated instance.
Identify that the hosting plan must be a dedicated tier that supports SSL bindings and the Backup and Restore feature.
This rules out non-dedicated or basic tiers that lack these features.
2
Evaluate the capabilities of the available pricing tiers against the requirements.
The Shared (D1) tier is ruled out because it lacks SSL bindings, backups, and dedicated compute. The Basic (B1) tier is ruled out because it lacks the built-in backup and restore capability.
Each of these tiers fails to satisfy at least one required capability.
3
Determine the most cost-effective option among the remaining compliant tiers (Standard and Premium V3).
Standard (S1) is the lowest-priced tier that offers dedicated instances, SSL bindings, and automated backups (up to 10 backups per day). Premium V3 (P1v3) also supports these features but at a higher cost.
To minimize cost while meeting all requirements, the lowest-priced compliant tier must be chosen.
