Azure Virtual Machine vs Web App

2023-04-18T03:46:31+00:00

  Azure Virtual Machine Azure Web App Description Infrastructure as a service, if you need to have full control over your computing environment. Platform as a service, it allows you to integrate the app without managing the underlying infrastructure. Deploy Uses an OS image. Uses a runtime stack. State Management Stateful or stateless Stateless Autoscaling You need to use VM scale sets to support autoscaling in virtual machines. Autoscaling is a built-in service in App Service. Scale Limit 1000 nodes per scale set for platform image and 600 nodes per scale set for custom image 20 instances and 100 with [...]
