What is the purpose of an App Service Plan in Azure Web Apps?

An App Service Plan defines the compute resources (like CPU, memory) and pricing tier for your web app. It controls how your app scales and performs.

beginner

Name two ways to deploy your code to an Azure Web App.

You can deploy code using Git (like GitHub or Azure Repos) or by uploading files directly through FTP or Azure Portal.

Why is it important to choose the right pricing tier for your Azure Web App?

Choosing the right pricing tier balances cost and performance. Higher tiers offer more resources and features like auto-scaling and custom domains, which help your app run smoothly as users grow.

What does an Azure App Service Plan control?

A The user interface design of the web app

B The compute resources and scaling options for a web app

C The database connected to the web app

D The programming language used in the web app

The App Service Plan defines the compute resources like CPU and memory and controls scaling for your web app.

Which Azure service is best for hosting a web application without managing servers?

A Azure App Service

B Azure Virtual Machines

C Azure Blob Storage

D Azure SQL Database

Azure App Service lets you host web apps without managing servers, handling infrastructure automatically.

Which deployment method is NOT commonly used for Azure Web Apps?

A Git deployment

B Azure Portal upload

C Direct database import

D FTP upload

Direct database import is unrelated to deploying web app code; deployment uses Git, FTP, or portal uploads.

What is a benefit of using a higher pricing tier for an Azure Web App?

A More compute resources and auto-scaling

B Less security

C Lower cost

D Slower performance

Higher pricing tiers provide more resources and features like auto-scaling to improve app performance.

Which of these is NOT a feature of Azure Web Apps?

A Support for multiple programming languages

B Built-in load balancing

C Automatic infrastructure management

D Manual server patching required

Azure Web Apps manage infrastructure automatically, so manual server patching is not required.

Explain the steps to create and deploy a simple web app using Azure App Service.

Think about setting up resources first, then putting your code online.

Describe why choosing the right App Service Plan matters for your web app's success.

Consider how resources and cost relate to user experience.
