App Services

Question 1

What are the key benefits of Azure App Service?

Answer 1

Azure App Service eliminates the need to manage infrastructure or virtual machines, including operating system management, web server hosting applications, network management, high availability, load balancing, and scaling, thereby reducing management overhead.

Question 2

What are the primary hosting capabilities of Azure App Service?

Answer 2

Azure App Service can host web apps (traditional websites and applications supporting various languages and frameworks), static web apps (simple HTML/CSS pages), Docker containers, WebJobs (background tasks), API applications (REST-based backend for web APIs), and mobile application backends.

Question 3

What are the steps involved in configuring and deploying an App Service application?

Answer 3

First, choose a unique name for your App Service globally across Azure. Then select a publish method (code deployment, docker container, or static web app) and a service plan (determining performance metrics, scaling capabilities, disk space, etc.). Finally, provide your code for App Service to host your applications.

Question 4

How does Azure App Service support continuous deployment?

Answer 4

Azure App Service integrates tightly with Git repositories such as GitHub, GitBucket, Azure Repos, etc., enabling continuous deployment for rapid iteration. Changes made to the codebase are automatically deployed by App Service, facilitating rapid development and deployment cycles.
