Azure App Service is the only cloud service that integrates everything you need to quickly and easily build web and mobile apps for any platform and any device.
Built for developers, App Service is a fully managed platform with powerful capabilities such as built-in DevOps, continuous integration with Visual Studio Team Services and GitHub, staging and production support, and automatic patching.
App Service plans represent the collection of physical resources used to host your app
App Service plans define:o Region (West US, East US, etc.)o Scale count (one, two, three instances, etc.)o Instance size (Small, Medium, Large)o SKU (Free, Shared, Basic, Standard, Premium)
Web Apps, Mobile Apps, API Apps, or Functions, in Azure App Service all run in an App Service plan. Apps in the same subscription, region, and resource group can share an App Service plan.
All applications assigned to an App Service plan share the resources defined by it allowing you to save cost when hosting multiple apps in a single App Service plan.
This course provides a practical and end-to-end guide to Azure App Services – Web Apps, focusing on how modern web applications are hosted, managed, secured, and scaled in Microsoft Azure.
You will start by understanding the fundamentals of Azure App Service and how Web Apps fit into the Azure ecosystem. The course then walks you through creating and deploying web applications to Azure App Service, helping you understand how applications are hosted and managed in the cloud.
As the course progresses, you will learn about App Service Plans, application settings, configuration options, and how Azure manages compute resources behind the scenes. You will explore essential Web App features such as custom domains, SSL configuration, and deployment slots, which are commonly used in real-world production environments.
A key focus of this course is scalability and reliability. You will learn how to scale Web Apps vertically and horizontally, understand scaling options, and configure features that ensure high availability. The course also covers authentication and authorization, helping you understand how Web Apps are secured.
In addition, you will learn about backup and restore, monitoring, and diagnostics, enabling you to manage and maintain Web Apps effectively. Each topic is explained through clear and concise video lessons, followed by practice tests that help you validate your understanding and reinforce key concepts.
By the end of this course, you will have the confidence to deploy, configure, secure, and manage Azure Web Apps in real-world scenarios.
