Please excuse me if this is a very beginner level question.
I am not able to find any convincing answer to this one.
As per my understanding, both azure function and azure web jobs Or App service are part of PaaS.
Azure manages all infrastructure. So it should be server less. I know Azure function is.

Azure Virtual Network

    HI @SG ,

    As far as I know Azure App Service is not serverless, but you can leverage it on serverless by using Azure Function, also if you check the Azure App Service plans, each plan defines the region, number of VM instances etc...

    For more information, see:

    App Service overview

    Best regards,
