| Microsoft Certification AZ 204 Question Number 2
You develop a website. You plan to host the website in Azure. You expect the website to experience high traffic
volumes after it is published.
You must ensure that the website remains available and responsive while minimizing cost.
You need to deploy the website.
What should you do?
Choose the correct option from below list
(1)Deploy the website to a virtual machine.
Configure the virtual machine to automatically scale when the CPU load is high.
(2)Deploy the website to an App Service that uses the Shared service tier.
Configure the App Service plan to automatically scale when the CPU load is high.
(3)Deploy the website to a virtual machine.
Configure a Scale Set to increase the virtual machine instance count when the CPU load is high.
(4)Deploy the website to an App Service that uses the Standard service tier.
Configure the App Service plan to automatically scale when the CPU load is high.
Answer:-(4)Deploy the website to an App Service that uses the Standard service tier.
Configure the App Service plan to automatically scale when the CPU load is high.
Note:-As we knows Windows Azure Web Sites (WAWS) offers 3 modes
(1)Standard
(2)Free
(3)Shared.
Standard mode carries an enterprise-grade SLA (Service Level Agreement) of 99.9% monthly, even for sites with just one instance.
Standard mode runs on dedicated instances, making it different from the other ways to buy Windows Azure Web Sites.
Other Points Incorrect Answers:
Shared and Free modes do not offer the scaling flexibility of Standard, and they have some important limits.
Shared mode, just as the name states, also uses shared Compute resources, and also has a CPU limit.
So, while neither Free nor Shared is likely to be the best choice for your production environment due to these limits. | | |
