Hi,
I was just preparing for the AZ-900 exam and found the below question online.
You need to determine which Azure web tier plan to host the web apps. The web tier plan must meet the following requirements:
✑ The web apps will use custom domains.
✑ The web apps each require 10 GB of storage.
✑ The web apps must each run in dedicated compute instances.
✑ Load balancing between instances must be included.
✑ Costs must be minimized.
Which web tier plan should you use?
A. Standard
B. Basic
C. Free
D. Shared
The Answer given is B. Basic, but the question mentions that the web apps each require 10 GB of storage, and according to, https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/app-service/windows/, the Disk Space for Basic is suppose to be 10 GB, so is that 10 GB per app or the maximum?
Thank you for taking your time reading my question, I appreciate your time.
Regards,
Kartik Aggarwal

the answer to this would be Standard
Does the question state that all have to be on the same plan?
You can have up to 100 Basic tier app service plans per resource group, and each plan will have 10GB, to a maximum of 500 GB storage per RG.
First of all, thank you for replying.
That was the complete question I posted.
So, as per your answer, will they have to create new plans to host each application, or can they just get one plan and have 100 apps with 10 GB data each? You also mentioned a maximum of 500 GB storage per resource group, but I don't see that limit mentioned in the pricing.
Also, as per the, "App Service Pricing", the total number of apps that can be hosted is Unlimited.
I am sorry if this question is too obvious, I am just looking for some clarification to understand this.
Here's the detailed App Service Limits
azure-subscription-service-limits
As per the detailed table, the number of apps per plan in basic or standard is indeed "unlimited", but the sum used storage of those apps can't exceed 10GB on the Basic App service plan, and all App service plans in a single Resource Group can't exceed 500GB storage. See [5]
This seems like a question taken out of context, probably a case study where the number of web apps and other details are provided.
If the number of apps would be 2 or 3, a Standard app service plan would allow up to 50GB storage, but might not meet the demand to minimize the cost, depending on the run time.
Take care when looking for study material online to avoid brain dumps, as they're not allowed and many times provide wrong answers.
Ah, you are correct, I didn't mention the number of web apps, it is 10.
"Your developers have created 10 web applications that must be host on Azure."
Hence it makes sense for it to be Standard, but even standard has a limit of about 50 GB, so 10 GB per app doesn't really cover it. So, should it be Premium?
Thank you, I have gone through courses on Microsoft Learn and video courses on LinkedIn. I am just going through questions to test my knowledge and when I make a mistake on something, I go and read up on it to understand it.

Answer: Standard.
The web apps each require 10 GB of storage. (basic and standard support this)
The web apps must each run in dedicated compute instances.(basic support 3 instance max where standard support 10max)
Load balancing between instances must be included. (free, shared and basic dont support load balancing. standard and above tier only support load balancing/autosacling).
