Question
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?
- A. Standard Correct
- B. Basic
- C. Free
- D. Shared
Explanation
The correct answer is A. Standard is the cheapest tier that meets every requirement. Free and Shared run apps on shared compute, offer only 1 GB of storage and do not scale out, and Free does not support custom domains. Basic runs on dedicated compute with custom domains and built-in load balancing, but it scales to only 3 instances and has 10 GB of storage for the whole plan, so it cannot give 10 apps their own dedicated instances. Standard scales to 10 dedicated instances, includes 50 GB of storage, supports custom domains and load balancing, and costs less than Premium.
