You are designing an Azure solution for a company that wants to move a .NET Core web application from an on-premises data center to Azure. The web application relies on a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 database on Windows Server 2016. The database server will not move to Azure.

A separate networking team is responsible for configuring network permissions.

The company uses Azure ExpressRoute and has an ExpressRoute gateway connected to an Azure virtual network named VNET1.

You need to recommend a solution for deploying the web application.

Solution: Deploy the web application to a web app hosted in a Premium App Service plan. Configure VNET Integration for the App Service plan.

Does this meet the goal?

The given scenario requires the deployment of a .NET Core web application that relies on a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 database on Windows Server 2016 to Azure, while the database server will not move to Azure. Also, a separate networking team is responsible for configuring network permissions, and the company uses Azure ExpressRoute with an ExpressRoute gateway connected to an Azure virtual network named VNET1.

The recommended solution is to deploy the web application to a web app hosted in a Premium App Service plan and configure VNET Integration for the App Service plan.

This solution is valid and can meet the goal for the following reasons:

  • The web app hosted in a Premium App Service plan provides a highly available, scalable, and managed platform for hosting web applications.
  • The Premium tier of the App Service plan also provides additional features like auto-scaling, custom domains, and SSL certificates.
  • VNET Integration for the App Service plan allows the web app to access resources in the VNET, such as the Microsoft SQL Server 2016 database on Windows Server 2016, securely.
  • With VNET Integration, the web app is still hosted in a secure, isolated environment, but can securely communicate with resources in the VNET over a private connection.
  • By deploying the web app in Azure, the company can take advantage of the benefits of the cloud, such as on-demand scalability, built-in disaster recovery, and reduced infrastructure management costs.

Therefore, the solution of deploying the web application to a web app hosted in a Premium App Service plan and configuring VNET Integration for the App Service plan meets the given scenario's goals. The answer is "A. Yes."
