The video tutorial explains Azure App Service as a platform-as-a-service offering that allows users to create applications using an App Service Plan. It details the App Service Plan, which defines compute resources and is region-specific. Users can control the size of the virtual machine and choose from various tiers, including free and shared. Applications can be deployed and scaled within these plans, sharing VM instances if multiple apps are on the same plan. The tutorial concludes with a mention of different pricing tiers to be discussed in the next lesson.

• By choosing the operating system

• By configuring network settings

• By installing custom software

Which of the following is true about the free and shared tiers of App Service plans?

• Applications can be scaled out

• Applications receive dedicated CPU resources

• Applications have unlimited storage

• Applications receive CPU minutes on a shared virtual machine

What happens when multiple applications are placed in the same App Service plan?

• They each get their own virtual machine

• They share the same virtual machine instances

• They cannot run simultaneously
