Q

What is an autoscaling rule? What plans support autoscaling?

A

Not free or shared. Must be at least S1 or any P level tiers.

17
Q

What is slot swapping? What are the steps involved?

A

Swapping from maybe staging to production in deployment slots.

  1. Apply settings from the target slow
  2. Wait for every instance in source slot to restart, otherwise revert.
  3. Trigger local cache initialization
  4. If customwarm-up, trigger application initiation by making an HTTP request.
  5. Once a slot is warmed up, swap the two slots.
  6. Perform the same operation of settings on the source slot.
18
Q

Can you route traffic between deployment slots?

A

Yes, you can. By default 0% of traffic routed to new deployment slots.

19
Q

Define Azure Functions

A

Simple web serverless apis. They can support :

  • Triggers
  • bindings
  • Input data
  • Output data
20
Q

What are the differences between logic apps and azure functions?

A

Azure functions are code-first, where as logic apps are designer first.
Logic apps have a large collection of connectors, more than azure functions.
Logic apps have ready made actions.

21
Q

Functions vs Webjobs

A

Webjobs are not serverless, and unlike functions are not pay per use, or having intergration with logic apps.

22
Q

Can all tiers of Azure functions scale?

A

No - only consumption and premium tiers can. Dedicated do not scale.

23
Q

Trigger events for Azure Functions

A 
Timer
Azure Storage queues and blobs
Azure service bus queues and topics
Azure Cosmos DB
Azure Event Hubs
HTTP/Webhook
Azure Event Grid
24
Q

Where are function’s trigger, bindings, and settings configured? What does it typically look like?

A

In the function.json file. Bindings have type, direction, and name.

25
Q

What is a function with stateful attributes called?

A

A durable function.

26
Q

Why would you use a durable function

A

If you need:

  • Function chaining
  • Fan-out/fan-in
  • Async HTTP apis
  • Monitor
  • Human interaction
27
Q

What is an ARM?

A

Azure Resource management template used to deploy azure resources programmatically.

28
Q

What are the IaaS solutions? What are the key areas?

A

Azure VMs.

Managed identities - how can you assign one to a virtual machine? System and user?
* Try to use powershell for getting the credential and token for the identity.

  • Backup and restore approaches
  • Accelerated Networking - things like vNets - not across region
  • When not to use an Azure VM
29
Q

What are the steps to deploying an Azure web app?

A
  1. Create an app service plan
