4. App Service enables.. you to build and host web apps, mobile back ends, and RESTful APIs in the programming language of your choice without managing infrastructure. It offers auto-scaling and high availability, supports both Windows and Linux, and enables automated deployments from GitHub, Azure DevOps, or any Git repo.
5. • User makes a request to create a new site. • ARM makes sure user has access to the resource to allow the given operation (create in this case) and forwards the requests to App Service Geo-Master. • Geo-Master finds the best suitable scale unit for the user’s request and forwards the request. • The scale unit creates the new application. • Geo-Master reports success on the create request. Global Distribution of App Service Scale Units
6. Why use App Service? • Multiple languages and frameworks - App Service has first-class support for ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, Java, Ruby, Node.js, PHP, or Python. You can also run PowerShell and other scripts or executables as background services. • Managed production environment - App Service automatically patches and maintains the OS and language frameworks for you. Spend time writing great apps and let Azure worry about the platform. • Containerization and Docker - Dockerize your app and host a custom Windows or Linux container in App Service. Run multi-container apps with Docker Compose. Migrate your Docker skills directly to App Service. • DevOps optimization - Set up continuous integration and deployment with Azure DevOps, GitHub, BitBucket, Docker Hub, or Azure Container Registry. Promote updates through test and staging environments. Manage your apps in App Service by using Azure PowerShell or the cross-platform command- line interface (CLI). • Global scale with high availability - 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.

8. LIMITATIONS • App Service on Linux is not supported on Shared pricing tier. • You can't mix Windows and Linux apps in the same App Service plan. • Within the same resource group, you can't mix Windows and Linux apps in the same region. • The Azure portal shows only features that currently work for Linux apps. As features are enabled, they're activated on the portal. • When deployed to built-in images, your code and content are allocated a storage volume for web content, backed by Azure Storage. The disk latency of this volume is higher and more variable than the latency of the container filesystem. Apps that require heavy read-only access to content files may benefit from the custom container option, which places files in the container filesystem instead of on the content volume.
9. App Service plans are organized in three increasingly powerful (and expensive) tiers: • Dev/Test: F- and B-series VMs with minimal compute and no extra features. This compute level is the least expensive but offers few features and shouldn’t be used for production apps. • Production: S- and P-series VMs with a good balance of compute power and features. This tier should be your App Service starting point. • Isolated: Called the App Service Environment and very expensive; Microsoft allocates hardware so that your web app is screened from the public Internet
10. Just because you can associate more than one web app into a single App Service plan doesn’t mean that you should. Sure, you can save money (the App Service plan incurs run-time costs based on instance size), but the more apps you pack into a single plan, the greater the burden on the underlying VM.
