Difficulty: HardConfigure Azure App Service Plans

A retail company is preparing to launch a new customer portal on Azure App Service. The portal must be hosted under a custom domain name with a custom SSL certificate. The operations team needs to test new updates in a staging environment before routing live user traffic to them. Additionally, the hosting environment must support scaling out to 33 dedicated instances to handle traffic spikes. Which App Service plan pricing tier is the most cost-effective option that satisfies all requirements?

  1. A
    B1
  2. S1Answer
  3. C
    P1v3
  4. D
    D1

Answer

S1
The S1 tier is the most cost-effective pricing tier that provides custom SSL support, dedicated compute instances with scaling capabilities, and deployment slots for staging environments. The S1 tier supports up to 55 deployment slots and scaling up to 1010 instances.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the requirement for staging slots.
Eliminates the F1, D1, and B1 pricing tiers, as deployment slots are only supported starting from the Standard (S) tier.
Deployment slots are not available in the Free, Shared, or Basic tiers.
2
Analyze the requirements for custom domains with custom SSL certificates and scaling.
S1 and P1v3 both support custom domains, custom SSL, and scaling out to at least 33 instances.
The Standard tier supports up to 1010 instances and 55 slots, while Premium v3 supports up to 3030 instances and 2020 slots.
3
Compare the cost of the remaining tiers (S1 and P1v3) to determine the most cost-effective solution.
S1 is selected as the correct answer.
S1 meets all constraints and is less expensive than P1v3.
