An administrator is configuring Azure App Service plans for two new applications:
* AppA is a marketing website that requires custom domain support, custom SSL bindings, and manual scaling up to instances.
* AppB is a business-critical API that requires regional virtual network (VNet) integration, deployment slots for testing environments, and auto-scaling up to instances.
You need to select the most cost-effective App Service plan pricing tier for each application. Which two pricing tiers should you select?
- Basic (B1) for AppAAnswer
- BStandard (S1) for AppA
- CStandard (S1) for AppB
- Premium (P1v3) for AppBAnswer
- EIsolated (I1v2) for AppB
Answer
Basic (B1) for AppA and Premium (P1v3) for AppB are the correct choices.
For AppA, the Basic (B1) tier is the most cost-effective option because it supports custom domains, SSL bindings, and manual scaling up to instances. For AppB, the Premium (P1v3) tier is required because the Standard (S1) tier is limited to deployment slots and scale-out instances, which do not meet the requirement of slots and instances. Premium (P1v3) meets these requirements and is cheaper than the Isolated tier.
