A. B.B
You should switch to the Basic Tier.
The Free Tier provides 60 CPU minutes / day. This explains why App1 is stops. The Shared Tier provides 240 CPU minutes / day. The Basic tier has no such cap.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/app-service/windows/The proposed solution of changing the pricing tier of the App Service plan to Shared may not meet the goal of allowing the web app to run continuously for the entire day. The Shared pricing tier allows for up to 240 minutes of continuous execution time per day, which means that the web app will still stop running after 240 minutes.
To ensure that App1 can run continuously for the entire day, it may be necessary to upgrade the pricing tier of Plan1 to a higher tier that provides the required resources for the web app to run continuously.
For example, upgrading to the Basic pricing tier would allow the web app to run continuously with up to 3.5 GB of memory, whereas upgrading to the Standard pricing tier would allow the web app to run continuously with up to 7 GB of memory. It is important to note that the higher pricing tiers come with higher costs, so it is important to evaluate the resource requirements of the web app before upgrading the pricing tier.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. No, the proposed solution does not meet the goal of allowing the web app to run continuously for the entire day.
