App services Plan in Azure

Introduction

An App Service plan represents a set of features and capacity that you can share across multiple apps in Azure App Service, including Web Apps, Mobile Apps, Logic Apps or API Apps. 

So this means we can create a single app service plan and apply it to multiple App services.

We can say it define a set of compute resources where we can run our app.

Lets create a App service plan and understand it in a better way.

Create App Service Plan

To Create a app service plan go to Crete Resources-> Search for App service plan(classic)

Create App Service Plan

After selecting the app service plan we can see the below screen where we need to choose the pricing tire for the app service.

Now we should know what is the pricing tier is....

if you click on the Pricing tier which is highlighted in the image you can see there are different pricing tiers are available from which we need to choose one, based upon the requirement.

Pricing tier is of 3 types.
