Reliability · App Configuration · Rule · 2020_12 · Important

App Configuration should use a minimum size of Standard.

Description#

App Configuration is offered in two different SKUs; Free, and Standard. Standard includes additional features, increases scalability, and 99.9% SLA. The Free SKU does not include a SLA.

Recommendation#

Consider upgrading App Configuration instances to Standard. Free instances are intended only for early development and testing scenarios.

Examples#

  • Set the sku.name property to standard.

  "apiVersion": "2023-03-01",
  "name": "[parameters('name')]",
  "location": "[parameters('location')]",
  "sku": {
    "name": "standard"
  },
  "properties": {
    "disableLocalAuth": true,
    "enablePurgeProtection": true,
    "publicNetworkAccess": "Disabled"
  }
}

Configure with Bicep#

  }
  properties: {
    disableLocalAuth: true
    enablePurgeProtection: true
    publicNetworkAccess: 'Disabled'
  }
