The document outlines three workload tiers for Azure App Service: Dev/test, Production, and Isolated, with the Isolated tier offering enhanced features such as hosting within client VNets and more powerful resources. It details the steps for creating an App Service Environment (ASE) and Web Apps under ASE, emphasizing the ability to create custom domain names and the cost-effectiveness of the service. Additionally, it introduces Azure Monitor, a free service for performance and availability monitoring, which collects telemetry data and integrates with various tools for comprehensive resource management.

There are three types of workloads available when choosing the workload tier.

They are
Dev/test, Production, and Isolated.
● Of these, the isolated offering provides the ASE environments which host applications
within the client’s VNets. As stated, we have fine-grained control over inbound and
outbound application network traffic.
● While the other category of app services has a fixed suffix of azurewebsties.net, we can
create our own domain name.
● Also, ASEs come with powerful computers, which is twice as powerful as the regular app
service plans. They also come with 1TB Storage as compared to 50GB of space for the
regular ones.
● We can host up to 100 instances which are sufficient to host a miniature web service hub.
We can expect the service to cost us about 250-300$ per month, which is very cheap for
the services being provided.
Steps to creating App Service Environment
● In the first screen, we select if the service is public-facing or internal
● Then we select whether we are hosting Windows-based or Linux-based OS.
● On the second screen, we select the Vnet where we want to host the service. (Since
services are being created in our private infrastructure, it takes much longer
time to
create)
● Then we can DNS resolution. We can create our own private zone and use that name.
This is not possible when choosing the other app service plans.

Steps to creating Web Apps under ASE
● Please note that the process is similar except that we drop down the region and select
the ASE that we just created.

● Also, the below screen shows various features under ASE and pricing under each of the
pricing tiers I1 and I2, and I3.

Note: The Private link vnetLink
(wlase1.appserviceenvironment.net/vnetLink) is also created
below. You can go to the Resource group and click on “Show hidden types”
to see this resource.
Note: Please see the App Service plan as I1:1 in the screenshot below to
identify the isolated
service plan.

Monitor and Maintain Azure resources
Introduction to Azure Monitor
● Azure Monitor is a free service that helps increase performance and availability. We could
collect telemetry data from Azure as well as on-premises.
● We could collect the metrics and logs from our resources like VMs. We could even collect
more detailed logs by enabling guest diagnostics and collecting OS level information.
● We can also integrate additionally with SIEM and ITSM tools. We could also send data
via
event hubs or other services.
● Metrics are available at each resource level or they can be collectively seen at the Azure
Monitor. This way Monitor acts as a central location for all our monitoring needs like
Metrics, logs, alerts and activity logs.
● We also have a section on Insights where we can see more intelligent information for
various resources like Applications, VMs, Storage Accounts, Containers,
Networks, SQL
(Preview), CosmosDB, KeyVault, Azure Cache for Redis.
● We could also see a map of our application and understand how the different
components work together.
A) Monitor resources by using Azure Monitor
Creating, Confuguring and Manging of Azure Monitor
At a high level, we can do the following by using Azure Monitor
1. Monitor & Visualize Metrics
2. Query & Analyze Logs
3. Setup Alert & Actions
Here are some of the components which make up the Azure Monitor
--Back to Index-- 90
1) Inputs –
a. Logs – these are the logs generated by various resources like VMs/ Databases etc.,
b. Metrics – Metrics provides numbers like CPU percentage, Network data in/out
which
helps us understand performance.
The metrics are stored in a time series DB which helps understand real time scenarios.
With metrics, we can set triggers to scale the resources up and down. Please see a metric
chart below on CPU percentage usage:
