Write-up Template

Analyze, choose, and justify the appropriate resource option for deploying the app.

For both a VM or App Service solution for the CMS app:

  • Analyze costs, scalability, availability, and workflow

    • Costs: App Service Plans are cheaper as compared to Virtual Machines.
    • Scalabilty: App Services are auto-scalable.
    • Availablity: App Services provide high availablity.
    • Workflow: Much easier to setup an app service (with github actions workflow) than a virtual machine.

    Note: Multiple VMs can be grouped together to provide better scalability and availability but that again, has an impact on economics of the app (costs).

  • Choose the appropriate solution (VM or App Service) for deploying the app

    • I would choose an App service for a small application like this one.
  • Justify your choice

    • As the application isn't that complex and is written in Python which is a supported language for App Service Plans, I would like to use it for fast development.
    • The App service plans are cheaper with F1 being almost free.
    • We don't have to care about the underlying OS and its settings/configurations.
    • Allows Continous Deployment using Github Actions Workflow.

Assess app changes that would change your decision.

  • If the Application was any heavier which required high availability and scalability beyond the scopes of the largest App service, I would have opted for the Vitual Machine.
  • I would have been forced to choose virtual machines if the application was written in a language not supported by the App Service Plans.
