Azure App Service - bandwidth limitations?

Question

In our development environment (in Azure) we are experiencing an issue which we are sure could be due to bandwidth limitations of the underlying VM. By scaling our App Service up a pricing level (from Basic to Standard), the issue stops occurring. Utilisation of the CPU, memory, connection, threads, are all very low.

What are the actual network/bandwidth limitations for the different Azure App Service tiers?

These pages provide nothing on the matter:

• Azure Web App sandbox
• Azure subscription and service limits, quotas, and constraints

Answer 1

Could you elaborate on what the issue was that you were facing. There are other restrictions for Azure App Services, which are defined here: https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Azure-Web-App-sandbox

Most of the restrictions in Azure App Service are specific:

1. Size of the VM
2. Pricing Tier

The problem you described seems to be related to size than pricing tier.

Answer 2

For free tiers, well explained here:

App Service free quotas

All the free app services will stop working if bandwidth is the issue

Answer 3

Less than 200MB daily, about 5GB per month
