| Front | Back |
| How does Autoscale work in Azure App Service | Based on rules or metrics like CPU usage to handle traffic surges. |
| What are bindings in Azure Functions | Simplify input and output by automatically handling data sources and services. |
| What are Durable Functions | An extension of Azure Functions for stateful workflows and orchestration. |
| What are the deployment options for Azure App Service | Options include Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and FTP. |
| What are the pricing tiers in App Service Plans | Free, Shared, Basic, Standard, Premium, and Isolated. |
| What does durable mean in Durable Functions | Ensures the workflow execution maintains its state across restarts or failures. |
| What does the term "serverless" mean | Computing without managing infrastructure, automatically scaling based on demand. |
| What is a Timer Trigger in Azure Functions | Executes a function based on a specified time schedule. |
| What is an Activity Function in Durable Functions | A reusable function that performs specific tasks within a larger workflow. |
| What is an Endpoint in Azure App Service | A URL for users or APIs to connect to a hosted app or service. |
| What is an HTTP Trigger in Azure Functions | Executes a function in response to an HTTP request. |
| What is Azure App Service | A cloud-based platform for building, deploying, and scaling web applications and APIs. |
| What is scaling in Azure Functions | Automatically adjusting resources to handle workloads based on demand. |
| What is the advantage of using Azure Functions for processing events | High scalability and cost efficiency tied directly to usage. |
| What is the benefit of using Azure App Service for hosting web applications | Built-in load balancing, scaling, and security. |
| What is the benefit of using Azure Functions over traditional web services | Reduced cost and simplified deployment due to serverless architecture. |
| What is the best use case for Durable Functions | Complex workflows that require state management and coordination. |
| What is the difference between Consumption Plan and Premium Plan for Azure Functions | Consumption Plan scales automatically and is billed per execution, while Premium Plan offers dedicated instances and advanced scaling. |
| What is the difference between Stateless and Stateful Functions | Stateless functions don't retain state between executions, while stateful functions manage and persist state. |
| What is the Function App | The container for hosting one or more Azure Functions. |
| What is the main benefit of Azure Functions | Allow you to write event-driven, serverless code without managing infrastructure. |
| What is the purpose of an App Service Plan | Defines the compute resources and pricing tier for an App Service. |
| What is the purpose of an orchestration function in Durable Functions | To coordinate the execution of activity functions and handle their output. |
| What programming languages does Azure App Service support | .NET, Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Java. |
| What triggers can be used with Azure Functions | HTTP requests, timers, events, queues, and blobs. |
About the Flashcards
Flashcards for the Microsoft Azure Developer Associate exam offer a compact study set that reinforces core cloud app hosting and serverless concepts. Use this deck to review definitions, platform components, and deployment terminology for Azure App Service and Azure Functions, focusing on the vocabulary and practical differences you'll need to recognize on the exam.
Cards emphasize triggers (HTTP, timer, events, queues, blobs), bindings, Function App structure, Durable Functions orchestration and activity patterns, scaling and autoscale behavior, App Service Plans and pricing tiers, endpoints, and the stateless versus stateful distinction. Ideal for quick recall of terminology, use cases, and exam-ready key ideas.
Topics covered in this flashcard deck:
- Azure App Service
