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 an isolated App Service plan on VNET1.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The proposed solution does not meet the goal because the web application hosted on the App Service Plan would not be able to directly connect to the on-premises SQL Server 2016 database without proper networking configurations. Additionally, hosting in an isolated App Service plan does not inherently facilitate the necessary connectivity to an external database server that is not in Azure.
