Exam AZ-305 topic 4 question 10 discussion

Passed exam with 979 today, this question was on the exam. I am 1000% confident A is correct.

A is correct

A is correct

Came in June 2024

A. an Azure App Service web app Azure App Service is a fully managed platform for building, deploying, and scaling web apps. By hosting Service1 as an Azure App Service web app, you can minimize maintenance overhead, as the platform takes care of the underlying infrastructure, patching, and scaling. Azure App Service also offers a cost-effective solution that can be scaled up or out as needed to meet the demands of your application. While Azure Functions, virtual machine scale sets, and App Service Environments can also host web services, they may not provide the same balance of minimal maintenance overhead and cost-effectiveness as Azure App Service web apps do in this scenario.

Azure Functions seem to acces to local temporary files and can write to event log... why is not the correct option?

Azure provides built-in diagnostics to assist with debugging an App Service app. There are three main types of files that an Azure Web App can deal with ➊ Persisted files ➋ Temporary files ➌ Machine level read-only files Logs messages generated by your application code. The messages can be generated by the web framework you choose, or from your application code directly using the standard logging pattern of your language. Each message is assigned one of the following categories: Critical, Error, Warning, Info, Debug, and Trace. You can select how verbose you want the logging to be by setting the severity level when you enable application logging.

Correct answer: A

A. an Azure App Service web app would be the best solution as it provides low maintenance overhead and cost-effectiveness while being able to host .NET web services. Additionally, Azure App Service provides easy integration with other Azure services, and it supports the reading and writing of files to the local file system. The Application event log can also be written to using Azure Diagnostic Logs, which can be configured within the Azure App Service.

A. an Azure App Service web app

How come a function app isn't a good answer here?

Web App can write Application Event logs, you enable this in the Monitoring section of the Web App.

A should be ok

Answer is B. App service has local disk to write temp files. For more persistent files, mount shares: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/operating-system-functionality https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-connect-to-azure-storage?tabs=portal&pivots=container-linux App Service can write to application logging windows: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/troubleshoot-diagnostic-logs it was never said that the app wanted to write logs into a filesystem.

@Mderators, please fit answer for this one. Web App can't write to Windows OS Application event log. In addition if question is not about Application event log, but about Application log it is still invalid, because of limited up to 12 hours enabled time.

Answer cannot be correct because with a web app this feature will only be on for 12 hours. After this time it will be disabled and has to be enabled again. So you have to use VMs
