Azure App Service Plan creation

Azure App service Plan

       Azure App service Plan Used to run the App service. So Before creating app service we have to create a app service plan .It allocates the resources to different apps . We can allocate different apps to a single app service plan to reduce the cost.

        You can create app service plan by clicking as below in the Azure portal and search for app service plan .

Create-app-service-plan

Then Click Create .
We can see the below screen after click on Create.

Create app service plan resource

Need to fill the Details like Service Plan Name,Resource Group name,Location,OS, Pricing Tier then click Create. Which will create a service plan.

Pricing tier is of 3 types

• Free tier
• Standard
• Premium 

Free tier- This is absolutely free if we create this service plan , but the resources are very limited . Can be used for testing Purpose.

Standard -This is paid but get high configuration compared to free tier. 

Premium- This is paid and get high configuration compared to free and standard. If there is high load resources are there then will go for premium and used for commercial purpose.

See the App service Plan details.

App service plan details

In Apps option we can check the resources associated with the App service plan.
In File system Storage we can check what % the service plan acquired from total storage.
We can scale up and scale down the app service plan based upon the requirement.
In Properties we can see all the service plan configuration details.

Summery

1. Can create app service plan based upon the requirement to reduce the cost.
2. Can Scale-Up and Scale-down the App service plan based upon the requirement.
3. It allows to add multiple resources to the same app service plan.
4. It used to run the App service.

Azure Introduction Advantages and Disadvantages

Windows Azure

Windows azure is a part of Cloud computing developed by Microsoft.It is a Public cloud platform. Azure is Infrastructure as a Service and Platform as a Service.

Azure Support more than 18 cloud services .Among them Compute,Networking,Storage,Web and Database are widely used services. 

Below are the advantages and disadvantages of Azure Cloud.

Advantages:-

• Less cost.
• Easy to Maintain
• Scalable
• No Data loss. 

Less Cost :- As we know cloud is Pay as you Use Basis. So we need to pay for the storage we used and for how long we use it.

Easy to Maintain :-In cloud computing the server is manage and Maintain by the vendor so no need to put extra effort to maintain the server for our own.

Scalable :- We can scale up and scale down the resources as per our requirement which reduce the cost .

No Data Loss :- Microsoft Azure having Back up of the server based up on the plan you take. So they provide 99.99% guarantee of no data loss called 9.99% of SLA. 

Disadvantages :-

• High Security risk
• Less control compared to on-premise.
• Technical issue 

High Security risk :- Servers are in data centers which are not in our control and we are putting our confidential data to that server. So there can be security issue as we are using vendor servers to store our confidential data.

Less control compared to on-premise :- We have less control over the server as it is not physically available to us. It is in data centers of the vendors. 

Technical issue :- If any technical issue arises we have to communicate with the cloud provider support team to resolve it as we do not have control over the servers. 


Subscription:-

You can take the free subscription free for 1 month by clicking Free Trial Azure which navigate you to the free trial page as below.

Azure Subscription free trial

This will be valid for 30 days and the amount of $200  will be credited to your azure account.

Cloud Computing - Types of Cloud-Private-vs-public-vs-Hybrid

Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is nothing but accessing Hardware and Software through Internet rather than keeping it physically.

In simple way we can understand like below.

Cloud - The data center/Virtual machine stored in different location 
Computing - Manipulating the hardware,software and data.

1.Based upon the deploy model cloud can be of 3 types.

• Private Cloud
• Public Cloud
• Hybrid cloud

Types of Cloud-Private-vs-public-vs-Hybrid

Private Cloud:-
Private cloud use dedicated server which not shared with other.
It is secured because you can not access the resources from outside if and only if if you are not connected to VPN(Virtual Private Network). So resources can be accessed on the premises of the company. 

Public Cloud:- 
Public cloud uses shared server . So there is always a security constraint. You can access the resources anywhere . So this is publicly available , so called Public Cloud.

Hybrid Cloud:-
Hybrid Cloud uses both Private cloud and Public Cloud.
Here We can store confidential data to the private cloud and Non Confidential data to the public cloud.
          Companies who use Private cloud cost more, so to reduce the cost they migrate non-confidential data to the public cloud.As we all knew Public cloud cost is low compared to private cloud. So companies use hybrid cloud to reduce the cost.

2.Based upon the Service Model cloud can be of 3 types.

• Infrastructure as a service(IaaS)
• Platform as a service(PaaS)
• Software as a service(SaaS)

Cloud computing service model diagram

On-Premise :- 

• On-Premise is a Non cloud platform which do not depend upon the Cloud providers.
• It manage its resources of its own with in its premises. 
• It's cost is high compared to other services.
• Examples are Conventional server

IaaS :-

• Infrastructure as a service is a cloud platform which depends upon the cloud provider.
• It can be managed on its own premises or outside the premises.
• It cost less than the non cloud Platform.
• The cloud providers manages the servers,storage,Networking and Virtualization and remaining manages by users.
• Examples are AWS EC2,Windows Azure

PaaS :- 

• Platform as a service is a cloud platform .
• Cloud providers manages everything except Application and Data.
• It is less cost compared to and this is based upon pay as you use basis.
• Examples are AWS Elastic Beanstalk,Windows Azure.

SaaS :-

• Software as a Service is a Software completely managed by Vendor.
• We can directly access the services though the URL .
• Sales-force,Google Apps,Dropbox,CRM

Conclusion:-

• Cloud is more is more cheaper than the On-premise.
• This is Pay as you Use Basis.
• Maintenance is less.
• Can scale high and low to resources.
• Need to compromise on security compared to On-premise.
• If small business cloud is a better choice.
• For big business can choose private cloud as a deployment model.
