- Multi-tier applications.
What are two primary uses of App Service Environment?
- Dedicated Environment
- Virtual Network support
How many App Service plans can be added to a App Service Environment?
up to 200 instances
How many instances can a App service Isolated v2 (Iv2) have?
up to 100 instances
What the number of vCore available for App Service Environment deployed on a dedicated host?
You’re limited in scaling across all App Service plans to the number of cores in this type of environment. An App Service Environment that’s deployed on dedicated hosts has 132 vCores available
What is the recommended size of App Service Environment v3 subnet?
/24 CIDR block with 256 addresses in it, as it cover the complete scale of ASE.
How is App Service Environment price charged?
With App Service Environment v3, the pricing model varies depending on the type of App Service Environment deployment:
- App Service Environment v3: If the App Service Environment is empty, there’s a charge as though you have one instance of Windows I1v2.
- Zone redundant App Service Environment v3: There’s a minimum charge of nine instances.
- Dedicated host App Service Environment v3: With a dedicated host deployment, you’re charged for two dedicated hosts per our pricing when you create the App Service Environment v3 and then, as you scale, you’re charged a specialized Isolated v2 rate per vCore
What is domain used for apps hosted in an App Service Environment with internal Virtual IP?
{appname}.{asename}.appserviceenvironment.net
What is domain used for apps hosted in an App Service Environment with internal Virtual IP?
{appname}.{asename}.p.azurewebsites.net
How can you disable Kudu build, if you are building during deployment?
To disable the Kudu build, create an app setting, SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT, with a value of false.

Keeps the app loaded even when there’s no traffic. When Always On isn’t turned on (default), the app is unloaded after 20 minutes without any incoming requests.
Always On is required for continuous WebJobs or for WebJobs that are triggered using a CRON expression.
What is ARR Affinity?
In a multi-instance deployment, ensure that the client is routed to the same instance for the life of the session.
What are the different SKU categories for App Service Plan?
- Free/Shared
- Basic (VNet)
- Standard (Auto-scale)
- Premium (premium resources) (v2 and v3)
- Isolated (Hardware level isolation, max instances) (v1 and v2)
How can you use SSL certificate in code in an App Service?
To access a certificate in your app code, add its thumbprint to the WEBSITE_LOAD_CERTIFICATES app setting
How can you enable your Windows app to load SSL certificate file in an App Service?
ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core on Windows must access the certificate store even if you load a certificate from a file. Set WEBSITE_LOAD_USER_PROFILE=1
What are the different scaling types for App Service?
- Scale-up (vertical, more resources in same instance)
- Scale-out (horizontal, more instances)
What are the different scaling methods for App Service?
- Manual (Basic and up)
- Autoscale (Standard and up)
- Automatic scaling (Premium V2 and V3)
