Azure offers the following service plan options:

  • Dev/Test: Free and shared are both part of this service plan option. Your app runs in a shared environment on the same VM as other apps. This environment can also include apps from other Azure customers and users. Each app has a CPU quota and there is no ability to scale up or out. The free App Service plan can host up to 10 apps, and the shared plan can host up to 100 apps. These App Service plans are most suited...
