Exam AZ-304 topic 5 question 46 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's AZ-304

Question #: 46
Topic #: 5

You plan to deploy an application that will run in a Linux-based Docker container.
You need to recommend a solution to host the application in Azure. The solution must meet the following requirements:
✑ Support a custom domain name and an associated SSL certificate.
✑ Scale-out automatically based on demand.
✑ Minimize administrative effort and costs.
What should you include in the recommendation?

A. Azure App Service
B. Azure Container Instances
C. an Azure virtual machine
D. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
App Service not only adds the power of Microsoft Azure to your application, such as security, load balancing, autoscaling, and automated management. You can also take advantage of its DevOps capabilities, such as continuous deployment from Azure DevOps, GitHub, Docker Hub, and other sources, package management, staging environments, custom domain, and TLS/SSL certificates.
Key features of App Service include:
✑ Containerization and Docker - Dockerize your app and host a custom Windows or Linux container in App Service.
✑ Scale up or out manually or automatically. Host your apps anywhere in Microsoft's global datacenter infrastructure, and the App Service SLA promises high availability.
App Service can also host web apps natively on Linux for supported application stacks. It can also run custom Linux containers (also known as Web App for
Containers).

A is correct - The question says - a/single Linux-based Docker container and not many containers or Microservices. AKS is suitable for when you have many containers/microservices. AKS will be expensive in this case

AKS is more expensive than Azure App Service for Container. So the answer goes to A.
