A developer wants to deploy a web application without managing the underlying OS, patching, or load balancers — just push code. Which Azure service is designed for this?
A.Azure Virtual Machines
VMs mean managing the OS yourself — opposite of the requirement.
B.Azure App Service
App Service = managed web app platform. Correct.
C.Azure Kubernetes Service
AKS is Kubernetes orchestration — far more operational surface than needed.
D.Azure ExpressRoute
ExpressRoute is private network connectivity, not compute.
Why this answer
App Service is the managed PaaS for web apps, REST APIs, and mobile backends: deploy code (or containers), and Azure handles OS, patching, scaling, and load balancing. The 'just deploy my web app' answer is almost always App Service.
