A cattail-pond set of Azure Functions sits idle most of the month and spikes hard at filing deadline. Which APIM tier family fits that bursty serverless pattern?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Bursty and mostly idle? Consumption APIM meters like serverless—you pay for executions, not a full-time Premium footprint sitting quiet all month.
Full Explanation
The Consumption tier for API Management is designed for serverless and spiky workloads with per-execution billing. Premium and other dedicated tiers keep always-on capacity suited to VNet, multi-region, or steady enterprise traffic. Developer tier is for nonproduction. Renaming an App Service plan does not create an APIM gateway.
