Azure App Service plan

Free plan are good if you don’t care about backup, auto-scaling, staging slots and storage.

As of this writing, these are Azure App service plan;

For less demanding workloads (Dev / Test)

For most production workloads (Production)

Other production tier options are here;

To scale up/down, go to Azure web application and select Scale up (App Service plan). The selected pricing tier will have a blue border around it. Change the lower pricing tier based on your requirements.

Once you have reached to a point where you will need more than 1GB of storage and RAM, then I think S1 production plan might be your starting point. This offers 10GB of storage, and all benefits that free tier does not provide.

The cost of S1 tier is 73.00 USD/Month.

Hosting multiple domains under one app service

I am looking at taking our product page gallery and hosting it under multiple domains but keeping it with one app service so it is easy to deploy updates across these multiple domains. The code for this site would handle the UI change based on the domain.

Would hosting a simple app service and just adding multiple CNAME records be the best option for this? How many CNAME records can you have for one app service and how many SSL certificates?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/117338/hosting-multiple-domains-under-one-app-service.html

I understand how to add multiple domains to a web app. What if I have say 100+ other company domains that I want to reference to the same webapp. These companies would create their own subdomains to point to this website the example is.

https://discovery.company1.com
https://discovery.company2.com
https://discovery.company3.com
….

I would assume I would need to host a separate SSL for each company and connect each CNAME. I am more just concerned I would hit a block after so many of these added to the same web app or wondering if there is a better option I should use in Azure if anyone knows of.

Azure App service allows 500 Custom domains per app that will be over this limit.

Check and change PHP version in Azure WordPress App service

I am running WordPress as Azure App service. My current configuration for the technology stack is;

I did a Site health check on WordPress dashboard; Tools->Site Health, WordPress site health status shows that I am running an older version of PHP.

I figured I should be changing my Stack settings from .NET to PHP.  I made the change hoping it wouldn’t break the application;

Technology stack is changed from .NET to PHP without any issues.

I went back to WordPress dashboard and ran Site Health. PHP version issue solved.

If someone is running WordPress on Linux, this is a good reference;

ngTemplate, ng-Content, ngContainer, *ngTemplateOutlet

<ng-template>

It’s a template element that Angular uses with structural directives (*ngIf, *ngFor, [ngSwitch] and custom directives).

These template elements only work in the presence of structural directives. Angular wraps the host element (to which the directive is applied) inside <ng-template> and consumes the <ng-template> in the finished DOM by replacing it with diagnostic comments.
