It appears there’s some changes to the pricing page for App Service tiers. It no longer displays Standard tier and a lot of the Premium tiers below V3.

If you recently looked at the Azure App Service pricing for Windows (link to pricing page: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/details/app-service/windows/), you might have noticed the Standard tier options (S1, S2, S3) aren’t listed there anymore.

Instead a link “Existing customers looking for Standard plan, click here.” can be seen which points you to a page with the title “Legacy Pricing” - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/details/app-service/windows-previous/

It also seems that the SKUs no longer listed can be deployed when creating a new App Service Plan.

This seems like a good step forward with the new offerings seeming a little more appetising. The S1 tier can be replaced by the P0v3 which has more resource at a cheaper price.

I haven’t yet seen any official documentation backing this up, but who knows I may have missed it. I would assume at some point customers will be forced to move off of the “legacy” plans as is usually the case when Microsoft makes changes to its offerings.

Stay tuned for more updates and insights on cloud services. Until next time, happy clouding!"
