Credentials do not solve a missing route or DNS name resolution. In this case, an engineer checks only the ACR latest tag and claims production is on that build. “Private DNS and network integration rather than only database authentication” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Deployment revisions may pin an older digest or tag”. Registry state alone does not prove which image a running workload uses.

The managed environment must reach the private database over allowed network paths. In this case, an engineer checks only the ACR latest tag and claims production is on that build. “A supported environment VNet integration and private DNS path” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Deployment revisions may pin an older digest or tag”. Registry state alone does not prove which image a running workload uses.

A registry is storage; supply-chain enforcement requires additional configuration. In this case, an engineer checks only the ACR latest tag and claims production is on that build. “Explicit image trust/policy enforcement for the target deployment path” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Deployment revisions may pin an older digest or tag”. Registry state alone does not prove which image a running workload uses.

A slot does not by itself create an unrelated independent free plan and region. The competing choice “Each slot automatically receives a separate free App Service plan in a different region” does not meet the specific requirement: A team has deployment slots on an eligible App Service plan. It expects a staging slot to provide a completely separate pool of CPU and memory from the production slot. What capacity consideration matters. The supported action is “Deployment slots on the same App Service plan share its provisioned compute resources and can affect each other’s capacity”.

Staging processes consume compute while starting and serving validation traffic, so available capacity still matters. The competing choice “A deployment slot does not need any worker capacity during startup and validation” does not meet the specific requirement: A team has deployment slots on an eligible App Service plan. It expects a staging slot to provide a completely separate pool of CPU and memory from the production slot. What capacity consideration matters. The supported action is “Deployment slots on the same App Service plan share its provisioned compute resources and can affect each other’s capacity”.

Creating a staging slot does not automatically stop customer production traffic or reserve exclusive workers for it. The competing choice “A staging slot automatically suspends production worker load whenever it is created” does not meet the specific requirement: A team has deployment slots on an eligible App Service plan. It expects a staging slot to provide a completely separate pool of CPU and memory from the production slot. What capacity consideration matters. The supported action is “Deployment slots on the same App Service plan share its provisioned compute resources and can affect each other’s capacity”.

DNS routing alone does not register authorization to use a hostname. In this case, an admin cannot create a staging slot under a Free plan. “Complete custom-domain verification and binding in App Service” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “App Service plan SKU support for deployment slots”. Slot availability is tied to plan capabilities rather than only app permissions.

Custom hostnames require domain DNS and verification/binding to the app. In this case, an admin cannot create a staging slot under a Free plan. “Validate domain ownership and add a supported custom hostname binding” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “App Service plan SKU support for deployment slots”. Slot availability is tied to plan capabilities rather than only app permissions.

App Service slots enable controlled promotion of a tested deployment into production. In this case, an admin cannot create a staging slot under a Free plan. “Deploy to a staging slot and swap after validation” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “App Service plan SKU support for deployment slots”. Slot availability is tied to plan capabilities rather than only app permissions.

TLS bindings enable HTTPS termination for the app hostname. In this case, an App Service app needs to trust a customer's vanity domain. “A valid TLS certificate bound to the custom hostname” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Validate domain ownership and add a supported custom hostname binding”. Custom hostnames require domain DNS and verification/binding to the app.

Certificates and hostname bindings are configured per applicable custom name. In this case, an App Service app needs to trust a customer's vanity domain. “The custom domain may lack a valid TLS certificate and binding” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Validate domain ownership and add a supported custom hostname binding”. Custom hostnames require domain DNS and verification/binding to the app.

Deployment slots require an eligible App Service pricing tier. In this case, an App Service app needs to trust a customer's vanity domain. “Use an App Service plan tier that supports slots such as Standard or higher” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Validate domain ownership and add a supported custom hostname binding”. Custom hostnames require domain DNS and verification/binding to the app.

Certificates and hostname bindings are configured per applicable custom name. In this case, a DNS CNAME points to the app but Azure rejects the hostname. “The custom domain may lack a valid TLS certificate and binding” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Complete custom-domain verification and binding in App Service”. DNS routing alone does not register authorization to use a hostname.

TLS bindings enable HTTPS termination for the app hostname. In this case, a DNS CNAME points to the app but Azure rejects the hostname. “A valid TLS certificate bound to the custom hostname” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Complete custom-domain verification and binding in App Service”.

DNS routing alone does not register authorization to use a hostname.

Worker count affects capacity, not certificate name verification during an HTTPS handshake. The competing choice “Increase the App Service plan worker count without changing the TLS certificate” does not meet the specific requirement: An App Service web application has a custom hostname and a deployed TLS certificate, but browsers reject HTTPS because the certificate does not cover the requested name. Which certificate property must be corrected. The supported action is “Install or bind a trusted certificate whose subject alternative names cover the actual custom hostname”.

Slot-sticky app settings determine configuration during deployment swaps; they do not alter certificate hostname coverage. The competing choice “Enable a deployment slot sticky setting on an unrelated application secret” does not meet the specific requirement: An App Service web application has a custom hostname and a deployed TLS certificate, but browsers reject HTTPS because the certificate does not cover the requested name. Which certificate property must be corrected. The supported action is “Install or bind a trusted certificate whose subject alternative names cover the actual custom hostname”.

DNS TTL governs cache expiration but cannot change the server certificate name a browser verifies. The competing choice “Change the DNS record TTL only and keep presenting the hostname-mismatched certificate” does not meet the specific requirement: An App Service web application has a custom hostname and a deployed TLS certificate, but browsers reject HTTPS because the certificate does not cover the requested name. Which certificate property must be corrected. The supported action is “Install or bind a trusted certificate whose subject alternative names cover the actual custom hostname”.

Domain proof does not by itself establish a valid TLS certificate and binding for the custom domain. In this case, an app's default azurewebsites.net address works over HTTPS but a new custom domain doesn't. “Complete only the DNS ownership proof and do not configure HTTPS binding for the new custom hostname” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “The custom domain may lack a valid TLS certificate and binding”. Certificates and hostname bindings are configured per applicable custom name.

Custom hostnames require domain DNS and verification/binding to the app. In this case, an app's default azurewebsites.net address works over HTTPS but a new custom domain doesn't. “Validate domain ownership and add a supported custom hostname binding” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “The custom domain may lack a valid TLS certificate and binding”. Certificates and hostname bindings are configured per applicable custom name.

HTTPS Only directs supported client traffic to encrypted transport. In this case, an app's default azurewebsites.net address works over HTTPS but a new custom domain doesn't. “Enable HTTPS Only for the web app” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “The custom domain may lack a valid TLS certificate and binding”. Certificates and hostname bindings are configured per applicable custom name.

TLS bindings enable HTTPS termination for the app hostname. In this case, a web application should deny ordinary HTTP requests and use HTTPS only. “A valid TLS certificate bound to the custom hostname” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Enable HTTPS Only for the web app”. HTTPS Only directs supported client traffic to encrypted transport.

Certificates and hostname bindings are configured per applicable custom name.

HTTPS Only directs supported client traffic to encrypted transport.

TLS bindings enable HTTPS termination for the app hostname. In this case, a security scan finds http:// links to an App Service app. “A valid TLS certificate bound to the custom hostname” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Enforce HTTPS Only and review application redirects”. App Service transport configuration helps prevent plaintext application access.

Slot-sticky settings remain with the relevant slot across swaps. In this case, a production app should receive a tested staging deployment without long downtime. “Mark the application setting as a deployment-slot setting” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Deploy to a staging slot and swap after validation”. App Service slots enable controlled promotion of a tested deployment into production.

Not every app setting should move with the deployed code during promotion. In this case, a production app should receive a tested staging deployment without long downtime. “Slot-specific setting flags for connection strings and secrets” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Deploy to a staging slot and swap after validation”. App Service slots enable controlled promotion of a tested deployment into production.

App Service slots enable controlled promotion of a tested deployment into production.

Slot-sticky settings remain with the relevant slot across swaps. In this case, a risky release was swapped into production and must be reversed quickly. “Mark the application setting as a deployment-slot setting” would not satisfy that requirement; the supported action is “Swap back to the previous slot state when applicable”. Deployment slot swap supports a common rollback path for code/configuration.
