Question

Difficulty: MediumConfigure Azure App Services

You have an Azure App Service web app named WebApp1 that is hosted on a Basic (B1) App Service plan. You need to configure a custom domain name for WebApp1 and enable daily automated backups of the web application. Which action should you perform first?

  1. A
    Configure a custom backup policy in an Azure Recovery Services vault.
  2. B
    Scale out the App Service plan to two instances.
  3. Scale up the App Service plan to the Standard tier.Answer
  4. D
    Enable virtual network integration for WebApp1.

Answer

Scale up the App Service plan to the Standard tier.
Scaling up the App Service plan to the Standard tier is correct because the Standard tier is the minimum pricing tier that supports automated backups of Azure App Service web apps. While the Basic (B1) tier supports custom domains, it does not support backups.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate the current tier requirements for App Service features.
The web app is hosted on a Basic (B1) plan, which supports custom domains but does not support automated backups.
Native automated backups in Azure App Service require a minimum tier of Standard (S1) or higher.
2
Determine the correct scaling direction to unlock features.
Scaling up (vertical scaling) to the Standard tier is required.
Scaling up changes the pricing tier and unlocks advanced features like backups and deployment slots, whereas scaling out only increases instance count.
