Difficulty: EasyConfigure Azure App Services

You plan to deploy an Azure App Service web app. You need to configure a deployment slot named staging to test updates before swapping them into production. Which App Service Plan pricing tier is the minimum required to support deployment slots?

  1. StandardAnswer
  2. B
    Basic
  3. C
    Shared
  4. D
    Free

Answer

Standard
The Standard tier is the minimum pricing tier that supports deployment slots. Tiers below Standard (Free, Shared, and Basic) lack this capability, whereas Premium and Isolated tiers also support it but at a higher cost.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the feature required by the scenario.
The scenario requires deployment slots for a staging environment.
Deployment slots enable zero-downtime deployment and staging testing.
2
Determine which App Service Plan pricing tiers support this feature.
Deployment slots are supported in the Standard, Premium, and Isolated pricing tiers. They are not supported in the Free, Shared, or Basic tiers.
Azure restricts advanced traffic routing and deployment capabilities to production-grade plans.
3
Select the minimum pricing tier from the supported options.
The Standard tier is the entry-level production tier and the lowest-cost option that support slots.
This fulfills the administrative requirements at the lowest cost point.
