Difficulty: EasyConfigure Azure App Services

An administrator is tasked with configuring a custom domain name for an Azure App Service web app named App1. The web app is currently hosted on a Free (F1) App Service plan. The administrator needs to ensure that App1 can use the custom domain.

What is the first action the administrator must take?

  1. A
    Configure a CNAME record at the DNS registrar pointing to the default App Service URL.
  2. B
    Enable HTTPS Only in the TLS/SSL settings of the web app.
  3. Scale up the App Service plan of App1.Answer
  4. D
    Configure a custom deployment slot named staging for the web app.

Answer

Scale up the App Service plan of App1.
To bind a custom domain to an Azure App Service web app, the web app's App Service plan must be scaled up to at least the Shared (D1) tier or higher. The Free (F1) tier does not support custom domains, so the administrator must first scale up the App Service plan.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the current pricing tier of the App Service plan hosting the web app.
The App Service plan is currently on the Free (F1) tier.
App Service plan features and limits are determined by their pricing tier.
2
Determine the minimum pricing tier required for the custom domain feature.
The Shared (D1) tier or higher is required to configure custom domains.
The Free (F1) tier does not support custom domains.
3
Perform a scale-up operation on the App Service plan to at least the Shared (D1) tier.
The web app is now hosted on a tier that supports custom domain bindings.
Upgrading the App Service plan unlocks the ability to bind custom domains in the Azure portal.
