Azure App Service Plan Selection for Custom Domains and Dedicated Instances
Describe Azure compute and networking services
Answer
Correct answer: B — The Basic tier supports custom domains, dedicated instances with 10GB storage per app, and load balancing while minimizing costs.
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?
Community Insight
The core trap is misinterpreting '10 web apps' as requiring 100GB total storage or assuming Basic limits instances per app; in reality, Basic supports unlimited apps with 10GB each and dedicated instances per app.
This question evaluates the selection of an Azure App Service Plan that balances dedicated compute instances, custom domain support, and cost efficiency. The correct choice is Basic, as it meets all technical requirements including load balancing while minimizing costs compared to Standard or higher tiers.
Many learners choose Standard because they incorrectly sum the storage (10 apps × 10GB = 100GB) and assume Basic's 50GB limit applies to the total rather than per instance, or they confuse instance scaling limits with app hosting limits.

Answer: A — Standard tier, because it’s the lowest‑cost plan that still supports custom domains, dedicated compute instances, autoscale with built‑in load balancing, and enough storage for each web app.

Basic is the lowest‑cost tier that satisfies: Dedicated compute Custom domains Load balancing Storage requirement (≥10 GB) Cost minimization Standard also works, but violates “minimize cost.” 10 web apps” does not mean “10 instances. Dedicated compute instances means the App Service Plan must be dedicated (Basic or higher), not that each app needs its own VM. App Service storage is shared per plan, not allocated per app. So the requirement “each app requires 10 GB” means each app’s footprint must fit within the plan’s storage limit — not that the plan must provide 100 GB.

Answer should be A. 1. Custom domains → Not available in Free or Shared plans. 2. 10 GB storage per app → Free and Shared have limited storage, not enough. 3. Dedicated compute instances → Only available starting from Basic tier. Free and Shared tiers are multi-tenant, not dedicated. 4. Load balancing between instances → Supported starting from Standard tier (Basic tier does not provide built-in load balancing / autoscale). 5. Costs must be minimized → Choose the lowest tier that satisfies all above.

The correct answer is A. Standard ✅ Here’s why the Standard tier is the best fit: 🔍 Requirements Breakdown - Custom Domains: Supported by Basic and Standard, but not Free or Shared - 10 GB Storage per App: Basic offers 10 GB total per plan—not per app—while Standard provides 50 GB per plan, which is more scalable - Dedicated Compute Instances: Only Basic and Standard tiers offer dedicated compute; Free and Shared use shared infrastructure - Load Balancing: Included in the Standard tier by default; Basic does not include built-in load balancing - Cost Minimization: While Basic is cheaper, it fails to meet all requirements. Standard is the lowest-cost tier that satisfies every condition So even though Basic might seem tempting for cost reasons, it falls short on storage and load balancing. Standard is the most cost-effective option that ticks every box.

Correct answer should be A. Standard. The reason seems to be explicit here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/azure-subscription-service-limits#azure-app-service-limits. Analyzing the request: - web apps will use custom domain (Standard ✅, Basic ✅, Free ❌, Shared ✅) so we exclude already 'Free' - web apps each require 10 GB of storage (Standard ->50 GB ✅, Basic -> 10 GB ✅, Shared -> 1GB ❌) - Each must run in dedicated compute instances (ONLY Standard supports 10 dedicated instances) so STANDARD is the response.

Explanation: Custom Domains: Both the Basic and Standard tiers support custom domains, a requirement for web apps. Storage Requirements: Each web app requires 10 GB of storage. The Standard tier provides up to 50 GB of storage, accommodating all 10 apps (10 GB × 10 = 100 GB total requirement). The Basic tier also offers 10 GB per instance, but it has limitations on scaling and instances. Dedicated Compute Instances: Both Basic and Standard tiers provide dedicated compute instances, ensuring that the web apps are not running on shared resources. Load Balancing: Load balancing between instances is included in the Standard tier but not in the Basic tier. This makes the Standard tier more suitable for production workloads requiring such features. Cost Minimization: While the Basic tier is cheaper than the Standard tier, it does not meet all the requirements (e.g., load balancing). The Standard tier provides a balance between cost and features necessary for production-grade hosting

Basic supports: Can host unlimited Web, mobile, or API apps - so this covers "Your developers have created 10 web applications that must be host on Azure" Basic supports custom domains which Web Apps require Basic also supports dedicated compute instances that web apps must each run on. Basic also supports Load balancing between instances (Built-in network load balancing support automatically distributes traffic across instances) What I don't understand is 10 GB per instance (3 for Basic) will be sufficient for 10 web apps that each require 10 GB of storage in Basic tier. Will that be 100GB of requirement in total and therefore you need to use Standard Plan (let's say one instance for each web app i.e. 10 instances which standard supports and 50 GB for each instance which is more than what's required).

The storage limit is the total content size across all apps in the same App service plan. So 10 Gb in Basic. You need 10 of them. Total cost: 0.94USD/Hr. Standard has 50 Gb so you can have 5 apps per subscription. You need 2 = total cost= 025 USD/hr

Hi, Answer is unfortunately B. The wording of the question is bad though. Explanation : https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/app-service/windows/#overview Customs domains : All but free 10G storage : Here is the confusion EACH web app requires 10GB does not mean 10 instances of ONE web app requires 10x10G = 100G or whatever. Its 10 DIFFERENT web apps. So BASIC is enough. Dedicated Compute Instances : Basic is enough. Load-balancing : Basic is enough. Don't mislead the scalability number. It works only if ONE specific web app is very consuming or you need high availability. Costs minimized : Here is the confusion. Nowhere it's written that all 10 web app must be in the same app service plan. You can have 10 app services for 10 web apps, or 2 app services fo 5 web apps each (standard). However I belive the question assumes 1 app service plan per web app, which one to choose ? This is why basic is preferred.

answer is Basic. you could create 10 app service plans with limits per each 10gb storage. then we can host it on compute dedicated instances - App service. App service working on service plan. And Basic plan provides dedicated compute instance type. Also we could create load balancer on basic plan but we can't enable autoscaling. But we only need load balancing according to requirements. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/azure-subscription-service-limits Basic Plan: - The actual number of apps that you can host on these machines depends on the activity of the apps, the size of the machine instances, and the corresponding resource utilization = 100 App service plans per resource group - The storage limit is the total content size across all apps in the same App service plan. The total content size of all apps across all App service plans in a single resource group and region cannot exceed 500 GB. The file system quota for App Service hosted apps is determined by the aggregate of App Service plans created in a region and resource group = 10 GB for App service plan

Basic tier has 10GB storage, dedicated instance, custom domain and load balancing. So, you would need 10 individual Basic tier app service plans to fulfil the question requirements. The cost would be $0.075/hour x 10 = 75 cents per hour for all 10. In the standard tier there is 50GB storage and 10 available instances, so you can run 5 apps per service plan. You would need 2 standard tier service plans. The cost would be $0.10/hour x 2 = 20 cents per hour for 2 plans. The standard plan works out cheaper and minimizes cost. If premium tier was an option the cost would be the same as standard tier, but only 1 service plan would be required. In reality if you need to use load balancing the traffic on the servers would probably come under ‘Run production workloads’ and not ‘lower traffic requirements’.

A. Standard The Standard web tier plan is the most appropriate option for hosting the web apps that meet the given requirements. The Standard tier plan provides dedicated compute instances for the web apps, each of which can be scaled independently. It also provides load balancing between instances to ensure high availability and scalability. The Standard tier plan supports custom domains and provides 50 GB of storage, which is more than the required 10 GB for each web app. The Basic, Free, and Shared web tier plans do not provide dedicated compute instances, load balancing, or custom domains. The Basic and Free plans offer limited storage and resources, while the Shared plan does not provide dedicated resources or load balancing. Although the Standard web tier plan is more expensive than the Basic, Free, or Shared plans, it is the most appropriate option for meeting the requirements of the web apps, which include custom domains, dedicated compute instances, load balancing, and sufficient storage. Therefore, the Standard web tier plan should be used to host the web apps while minimizing costs.

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 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.

the Answer is Standard : The requirement for 10 web applications does not necessarily mean that a single Standard plan can accommodate all of them. Each web application is typically associated with an individual instance of an App Service Plan. In this scenario, if you have 10 web applications, you would generally need 10 separate Standard plans for web services. The "Maximum instances" in the Standard plan refers to the maximum number of instances that a single App Service Plan can scale out to, but it's not directly related to the total number of web applications you have. Each web application would be associated with its own plan, and the "Maximum instances" setting would apply to each plan individually. The crucial factor in determining the appropriate Azure web tier plan in this scenario is the requirement that "Load balancing between instances must be included." Only the "Standard" plan provides built-in load balancing functionality, making it the suitable choice to meet the specified requirement.

The answer is Standard. The question doesn't limit the quantity of the plan we're going to buy. It just tells us to buy the one with least cost. For Basic, it only has 10 GB of storage, so one Basic plan can only support one app. If we choose Basic plan, we need to buy 10 plans for 10 apps. One basic costs $0.075/hr, so ten is $0.75/hr. But for Standard, one Standard plan has 50GB storage, which could supports 5 apps. If we choose Standard, we only need to buy two Standard plans. One Standard plan costs $0.1/hr, so two is $0.2/hr. Standard is cheaper, so we choose Standard.

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. 10 web applications each require 10 GB of storage so the requirement is for 100 GB of storage? So as per https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/app-service/windows/ Isolated? But there is no option like that ;(

Answer: Basic, both Basic and Standard has dedicated compute instance type, standard has up to 50GB storage while Basic has up to 10GB, to minimize cost we go for Basic since it has 10GB storage and that is what is required.

I think just one correction. The Basic Plan also supports load balancing, as Standard. But the 10 separate instances makes the difference in this question. Standard is the one that supports up to 10 instances and Basic only 3. "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. "

I would say the Standard Web tier. Load balancing is built in Basic and Standard, however due to there are 10 web apps and each mush run in its own dedicated compute instance, so you need min of 10 instances. Basic only allows for 3.

Answer is Standard 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.

I am completely confused now. First, Basic and Standard both support load balancing. For people saying Standard cause it supports 10 instances - What about the limit of 50 GB? Doesn't the question say that each app requires 10 GB for a total of 100 GB? Should it be Premium? Or is it 50 GB per instance? For people saying Basic and to bill 10 different instances, isn't it still cheaper to get Premium as Basic($ 0.075)X10 = .75 vs Premium($ 0.20) = $ 0.20

There are 10 Applications. Based on the fact that Azure only gives me 1 URL per web app that I create and only seems to allow me to upload 1 application per web app it suggests that it is 1 application per app service. So you would need 10 app services rather than 10 instances. In this case it suggests to me that instances would mean how many concurrent runs of the same app you can have. So Basic would do just fine as it supports 10GB storage, custom domains, 3 instances, and load balancing between instances.

The total content size of all apps across all App service plans in a single resource group and region cannot exceed 500 GB. The file system quota for App Service hosted apps is determined by the aggregate of App Service plans created in a region and resource group.

Auto scale doesn't equal load balancing. You can load balance without auto scaling. Auto-scaling is a feature combined with load balancing that scales out (spawns new) instances to meet demand. But you can load balance without that feature.

The Basic plan supports 10GB storage for $0.018/hour and Standard Supports 50GB for $0.095/hour. In one Basic Plan we can put only 1 app, so we need 10 basic plans = a total of $0.18/hour In one Standard Plan we can put 5 apps, so we need 2 standards plans = a total of 0.19/hours Max number of instances in the plans means REPLICATION, how many times you can replicate your app to get scalability. You cannot put 3 different apps each using 10GB on basic plan, but 1 app using 10 GB replicated in 3 instances, instead.

We don't have to multiply 10 app 10GB. Each app runs on their own App Service Plan. Instances inside App Service Plan - are instances of one particular app, not number of apps. So we can choose 2 Standard App Service Plans each of which for 5 Applications ($0.10 5 = $0.5), or 10 Basic App Service Plans each of which for 1 Application ($0.075 * 10 = $0.75). So 2 Standard is cheaper then 10 Basic. The right answer - is Standard

Expert Analysis
Why the Answer Is Correct
The Basic tier of Azure App Service is the optimal choice because it satisfies all specific constraints at the lowest price point. It supports custom domains (unlike Free/Shared), provides dedicated compute instances for each web app (avoiding the noisy neighbor effect of Shared), and includes built-in network load balancing across those instances. Crucially, the Basic plan allocates 10GB of disk space per instance, which perfectly matches the requirement for each of the 10 separate web applications.Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Free and Shared tiers do not support custom domains, eliminating options C and D immediately. While the Standard tier also meets all technical requirements, it is significantly more expensive than Basic. Since the prompt explicitly states that 'Costs must be minimized,' choosing Standard would violate this business constraint despite its technical adequacy. Some might argue Standard is needed for scale, but Basic allows up to 3 instances per app (scale-out) and sufficient storage per app, making it the cost-effective winner.Community Comment Notes
Community discussion highlights the confusion around storage calculations. As user mahmoud_az noted, Standard has 50GB per instance, which seems ample, but ignores the cost minimization rule. User hkmomin pointed out that Standard supports 150GB total in examples, reinforcing that capacity isn't the bottleneck. Users like Harry28731 and Pradh clarified that the 10GB requirement is per web app, not a cumulative 100GB pool, confirming Basic's sufficiency. User sam7777 emphasized that Basic supports unlimited web apps, addressing fears about platform limits.Exam Strategy
When selecting cloud services, always prioritize the lowest-cost option that meets all functional requirements. Do not over-provision based on cumulative sums if the service charges per unit (e.g., per instance); verify if limits apply per-unit or aggregate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Basic tier support custom domains?
Yes, the Basic tier fully supports custom domains, unlike Free and Shared tiers which require subdomains.
Is 10GB storage enough for 10 web apps in Basic?
Yes, the 10GB limit applies per instance/app, so each of the 10 apps gets its own 10GB allocation.
