Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ104) Practice Exam

What is the expected outcome if you add a continuous WebJob to an Azure web app running in the Free pricing tier?

1. The app will run continuously without stopping

2. The app will improve its performance speed

3. The app will automatically scale based on traffic

4. The app will upgrade to a paid pricing tier

The correct answer is: The app will run continuously without stopping

Adding a continuous WebJob to an Azure web app in the Free pricing tier will not allow the app to run continuously as intended. While the WebJob is designed to run indefinitely, the Free tier has limitations in terms of resources and availability that will cause the WebJob to stop running after a period of idle time or usage limits are reached. In a continuous WebJob, it is common for it to be expected to run continuously; however, the constraints of the Free tier mean that this outcome will not be realized. Instead, it often results in the WebJob being unable to maintain consistent operation. The other options reflect other Azure functionalities not applicable in this situation, such as performance enhancements, automatic scaling, or automatic upgrades to a paid tier, which are not features that would directly result from adding a WebJob in the Free pricing tier.
