App Service Overview

Above illustrates the process of using Azure App Service. We start by provisioning the App Service and App Service Plan. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. 🚀 App Service & App Service Plan

    • App Service: A fully managed platform for building, deploying, and scaling web apps.
    • App Service Plan: Defines the region, number of instances, and pricing tier for your App Service.

  2. 📈 Autoscaling

    • Autoscaling: Automatically adjusts the number of instances based on demand to ensure optimal performance and cost-efficiency.

  3. 🔄 Continuous Deployment

    • Continuous Deployment: Seamlessly deploy updates from your favorite source control systems:
      • Git: Version control system for tracking changes.
      • GitHub: Hosting service for Git repositories.
      • Azure DevOps: Comprehensive suite for DevOps practices.
      • Bitbucket: Git repository management solution.

  4. 🔐 Authentication

    • Built-in Authentication: Easily enable authentication using:
      • Microsoft Account: Secure login with Microsoft credentials.
      • Facebook: Social login with Facebook.
      • Apple Account: Secure login with Apple ID.
      • And more: Support for various other identity providers.

  5. 🛡️ Security

    • TLS/SSL: Ensure secure communication with Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates.

  6. 🚀 Deployment Slots

    • Deployment Slots: Create staging environments to test new versions before going live. Easily promote new versions with zero downtime.

  7. 🌐 Traffic Manager

    • Traffic Manager: Distribute traffic across multiple instances and regions. Specify the percentage of traffic for each instance to manage load effectively.
