AZ-900 Exam - Question 7


Your developers have created 10 web applications that must be host on Azure.

You need to determine which Azure web tier plan to host the web apps. The web tier plan must meet the following requirements:

✑ The web apps will use custom domains.

✑ The web apps each require 10 GB of storage.

✑ The web apps must each run in dedicated compute instances.

✑ Load balancing between instances must be included.

✑ Costs must be minimized.

Which web tier plan should you use?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

To host the web apps, the Standard web tier plan is the most appropriate choice. It supports custom domains, offers sufficient storage of up to 50 GB, provides dedicated compute instances, and includes load balancing between instances—all essential for the requirements. Additionally, while the Basic plan offers some of the needed features, it does not support load balancing and has limited instance support, which makes it a less viable option. Hence, the Standard plan meets all the specified requirements more comprehensively.

Please read the requirements: Many are not noting here the load balancing fact. The web apps will use custom domains. (Basic, Shared and standard Support custom domain) The web apps each require 10 GB of storage. (basic and standard support this) The web apps must each run in dedicated compute instances.(basic support 3 instance max where standard support 10max) Load balancing between instances must be included. (free, shared and basic dont support load balancing. standard and above tier only support load balancing/autosacling) Costs must be minimized. Standard is less costier than premimum and isolated. I hope this is clear to chose the correct answer as STANDARD. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/app-service/windows/

Basic Service Plan: Built-in network load balancing support automatically distributes traffic across instances. So, the correct answer is Basic

Basic does support load balancing. Do we need 10GB for each instance or not, that is my dilemma

basic support load balancing by default: Basic Service Plan The Basic service plan is designed for apps that have lower traffic requirements, and don't need advanced auto scale and traffic management features. Pricing is based on the size and number of instances you run. Built-in network load balancing support automatically distributes traffic across instances. The Basic service plan with Linux runtime environments supports Web App for Containers.

the Answer is Standard : Standard tier support Custom Domains, Disk Space of 50GB wich is more than enough for the requested plan, and as long as they want to run each web app in a dedicated instance, that means we need 10 dedicated instances for the 10 web apps with a load-balancing service between them, the basic plan only support up to 3 dedicated instances. Finally the Standard plan has the lowest cost compared to Premuim and Isolated pricing tiers.

Ten services need 10GB each whic his 100GB. I don't htink Standard is enough, I don't think any of the provided answers fit.

It's confusing for sure but if I scroll down on the link and see under "Standard Service Plan" they have 50GB per instance. Example has 3 instance therefore 150 GB in total, based on that Standard should support. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/app-service/windows/#overview

"The storage limit is the total content size across all apps in the same App service plan. " - Doesn't it mean that 50GB is for all instances it this service plan? src: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/azure-subscription-service-limits#app-service-limits

Basic meets all the requirements. Not sure why they would ask questions which can be googled. No point in memorizing data

The max instances for the Basic plan is only 3! This is why answer "A. Standard" is right. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/app-service/windows/

the Basic web tier plan can support 10 web applications. Let's take a closer look at the details: The Basic web tier plan has the following limits: Number of web apps: 10 Number of small (shared) instances: 3 Number of medium (dedicated) instances: 3 Number of large (dedicated) instances: 3 So the Basic plan can indeed support up to 10 web apps, with the limitation that you can only have up to 3 dedicated instances. For 10 web apps, each requiring dedicated compute instances, the Basic plan may not be sufficient. The Standard web tier plan would be a better choice, as it has higher limits: Number of web apps: 100 Number of small, medium, and large (dedicated) instances: 10 each The Standard plan would provide more flexibility to scale out the 10 web apps and ensure they each run in a dedicated compute instance. Therefore, the correct answer should be: A. Standard

The Basic web tier in Azure App Service may not fully meet all the specified requirements. While it supports custom domains, it does not provide dedicated compute instances or load balancing between instances. The Basic tier shares resources among multiple applications and lacks features such as auto-scaling and deployment slots. For the given requirements, you might want to consider the Standard or Premium tier. Both the Standard and Premium tiers offer dedicated compute instances, load balancing, custom domains, and additional features. The choice between Standard and Premium would depend on specific features required and cost considerations. In summary, the Basic web tier might not suffice for the specified requirements, and you may need to explore the Standard or Premium web tier plans for a more comprehensive solution.

wait, but each app needs 10gb, so altogether 100gb is needed, and Basic offers 10gb?

Answer is Basic, I agree Standard and Basic supports all points but they want cost to be minimised so answer is Basic. Basic is cheaper than Standard.

It should be Premium storage because in the questions it says you have 10VMs and each require 10gb of storage that means 10*10= 100gb. Premium provides upto 150gb of storage, Hence it is Premium storage

The requirements specify that the web apps need custom domains, each requires 10 GB of storage, must run in dedicated compute instances, and need load balancing between instances, while also minimizing costs. Here's a breakdown of the options: - **Free**: Does not support custom domains, has limited storage, does not provide dedicated compute instances, and lacks load balancing. - **Shared**: Supports custom domains but does not provide dedicated compute instances and lacks load balancing. - **Basic**: Supports custom domains and provides dedicated compute instances, but does not include load balancing. - **Standard**: Supports custom domains, provides dedicated compute instances, includes load balancing, and offers more storage. Given the requirements, the **Standard** tier plan is the only option that meets all the requirements: A. Standard
