Question

Difficulty: MediumConfigure Azure App Service Plans

An administrator is planning the deployment of a new web application to Azure App Service. The application must meet the following requirements:
- Support scaling out to at least 10 instances.
- Enable integration with an Azure Virtual Network (VNet) to access backend resources securely.
- Support deployment slots to enable staging and testing before production swaps.
- Minimize hosting costs.

Which of the following configurations should the administrator select? (Select TWO.)

  1. The Standard (S1) pricing tier for the App Service planAnswer
  2. B
    The Basic (B1) pricing tier for the App Service plan
  3. A maximum of 5 deployment slotsAnswer
  4. D
    A maximum of 20 deployment slots
  5. E
    The Premium V3 (P1v3) pricing tier for the App Service plan

Answer

To meet the requirements at the lowest cost, the administrator should select the Standard (S1) pricing tier for the App Service plan and configure a maximum of 5 deployment slots.
The Standard (S1) pricing tier is the most cost-effective tier that provides VNet integration, support for 10 scale-out instances, and deployment slots. Because the Standard tier is used, the application is limited to a maximum of 5 deployment slots, which fulfills the deployment slot requirement without needing the more expensive Premium tier.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate the VNet integration and deployment slot requirements against the available tiers.
The Basic (B1) tier is eliminated because it lacks support for both VNet integration and deployment slots.
Basic tier plans do not support advanced networking or staging slots.
2
Evaluate the scale-out requirement of 10 instances.
The Standard (S1) tier supports up to 10 instances, while Premium tiers support 30 or more instances. Both meet the scale-out requirement.
Standard tier offers exactly the 10 scale-out instances required by the workload.
3
Compare the Standard (S1) and Premium (P1v3) tiers for cost-effectiveness and slot limitations.
The Standard (S1) tier is selected because it is more cost-effective than Premium. Standard tier supports a maximum of 5 deployment slots, which satisfies the staging requirement.
Standard (S1) is the lowest cost tier that meets all criteria, and it enforces a limit of 5 deployment slots.
