Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question
Your company is modernizing an on-premises .NET Core REST API that currently runs in Windows Server virtual machines. The team will containerize the application and deploy it to Azure. The future workload must meet these requirements:
Accept HTTP requests from the internet.
Scale automatically from zero to thousands of concurrent requests.
Require no virtual-machine management by the operations team.
Support individual request executions that can run for up to one hour.
Which Azure compute service should you recommend?
Azure Kubernetes Service with the cluster autoscaler enabled
Azure Container Apps is designed for containerized microservices and APIs that need HTTP ingress, automatic event-driven scaling (including scale to zero), and no direct virtual-machine administration. It can run containers for long-running requests well beyond the execution limits imposed by the Azure Functions Consumption plan. Azure App Service always keeps at least one instance running and therefore cannot scale to zero. Azure Functions on a Consumption plan scales to zero but imposes an execution timeout that is too short for a one-hour workload unless you move to the Premium plan, which still maintains warm instances. Azure Kubernetes Service can meet the technical requirements but requires cluster management that the operations team wants to avoid. Therefore, Azure Container Apps best satisfies all stated constraints.
