Hello, I would like to ask you if there is a way to avoid App Service Plans from Azure to scale down automatically. For instance, I configured an App Service Plan with the following pricing tier: Basic: 1 Medium; nevertheless, if my app is idle for some
time the pricing tier of that App Service Plan changes to Shared. I do not know if that is a standard behavior, financially it makes sense; however, from a technical point of view, I do need at least a Basic Service Plan at all times since I am using some
GDI+ features not available in a shared environment (where in fact my app starts crashing).
While in developing, creating and deploying directly web apps from within Visual Studio, and later scaling the app to a Basic Service Plan never changed back to Free set by default... But now in production using a Pay-As-You-Go subscription I am having this
problem, that now is becoming very annoying.
I hope that anyone may help me figure out how to avoid the behavior stated earlier, in order to force my App Service Plan to remain in at least a Basic pricing tier, even while my app is idle; or in this case, at least force my App Service Plan to scale
up from Shared to Basic once the app is not idle anymore.
Thank you.
