A county extension office creates a .NET Web App in the Azure portal and is surprised that deployment slots and certain scale options are missing. What did the team overlook?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The web app is the site; the App Service plan is the engine under the hood that you actually pay for. Cheap or free engines simply do not include slots and fancy scale. Pick a plan SKU that unlocks the features the office needs.
Full Explanation
An Azure App Service web app always runs on an App Service plan that supplies the worker compute. Features such as deployment slots and higher-scale options depend on that plan’s SKU, not on creating the web app resource alone. Application Insights, Container Apps, or DNS verification do not substitute for choosing a plan that includes those capabilities.
