Question

You are developing an Azure Function app for scalability and integration with Azure Blob Storage. You must run the code in an Azure production environment that allows the function to scale based on demand, providing instance size selection and higher concurrency control. The function must connect to other Azure services secured inside a virtual network, scale to zero instances when there are no incoming events and minimize costs. You need to select a hosting plan to meet the requirement. Which plan should you use?

Options

  • AFlex Consumption
  • BConsumption

Explanation

Flex Consumption is a Linux-based Azure Functions hosting plan that builds on the Consumption pay for what you use serverless billing model. It gives you more flexibility and customizability by introducing private networking, instance memory size selection, and fast/large scale-out features still based on a serverless model. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/flex-consumption-plan
