Practicing and exploring

Test your knowledge and understanding by answering some questions, get some hands-on practice, and explore with deeper research into the topics covered in this chapter.

Exercise 16.1 – test your knowledge

Answer the following questions:

1. How many web apps can you host in Microsoft Azure for free?
2. Does Microsoft Azure only support Windows as a host operating system?
3. What options does Microsoft Azure offer for data storage?

Exercise 16.2 – practice by extending the quiz web app

How would you improve this quiz app? Here are some suggestions:

• Use Visual Studio's scaffolding feature to allow an administrator to add, edit, and delete quizzes and questions
• Allow more complex types of questions, for example, multiple correct answers to a question
• Create an Ubuntu or Docker virtual machine in Microsoft Azure and deploy the quiz application to that platform
