AZ-104 question #559 exhibit 2

Answer Area

  • The average CPU percentage is calculated four times per day.Yes
  • ASP1 must be scaled up to optimize CPU usage.Yes

Explanation

The average CPU percentage being calculated four times per day is correct because Azure App Service plan metrics are sampled every 6 hours by default (24 hours ÷ 6 hours = 4 times per day), which aligns with the exhibit showing data points at regular intervals throughout the day. Scaling UP (vertical scaling) is the correct action when CPU usage is consistently high, as it increases the compute resources (more powerful VM tier) of the existing App Service plan rather than adding more instances, which would be scaling OUT. If the CPU chart shows consistently high utilization near or at capacity limits, this indicates the current pricing tier lacks sufficient CPU resources, necessitating a scale-up to a higher tier.
