Hotspot Question You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure App Service app named ASP1. ASP1 uses the Basic B1 tier and hosts an app named App1. You need to create a backup solution for App1. The solution must meet the following requirements: - Perform a backup once every hour. - Ensure that individual backups can be downloaded. - Ensure that all deployment slots can be backed up. - Minimize administrative effort and costs. What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Explanation

Azure App Service Backup - Hotspot Explanation

Dropdown 1: Set the backup type to -> Custom

Why Custom is correct: Custom backups in Azure App Service are user-configured scheduled backups. They support:

Scheduled execution (hourly intervals are supported)
Individual download - stored in an Azure Storage account you own, so each backup file is directly downloadable
Deployment slot coverage - you can configure custom backups per slot

Why the alternatives are wrong:

Option	Why Wrong
Automatic	Azure-managed automatic backups run every hour but are not downloadable - they exist only for internal restore operations and do not cover deployment slots
Manual	Requires a human to trigger each backup; cannot satisfy "once every hour" without constant admin effort, violating the minimize-effort requirement

Key concept: Custom (scheduled) backups require a connected Azure Storage Account and a tier that supports the feature (Standard or higher).

Dropdown 2: Configure App1 to use the -> Premium P3V3 tier

Why Premium P3V3 is correct: The current Basic B1 tier does not support custom scheduled backups or deployment slots - both are hard blockers. The requirements need:

Custom backup support -> requires Standard tier or above
Deployment slots -> requires Standard tier or above

Among the three options, Premium P3V3 is the lowest-cost option that satisfies both requirements, minimizing cost while meeting all constraints.

Why the alternatives are wrong:

Option	Why Wrong
Basic B3	Still the Basic tier - scaling up the instance size within Basic does not unlock deployment slots or custom backup scheduling; these are tier-level features, not instance-size features
Isolated I3V2	Isolated tier runs in a dedicated environment (App Service Environment) - far more expensive and operationally complex than needed; violates the minimize-cost requirement

Key concept: Azure App Service features like scheduled backups and deployment slots are gated by pricing tier, not instance size. Moving from Basic B1 -> Basic B3 is a vertical scale within the same tier and unlocks nothing new. You must move to Standard or Premium tier to get these features.
