We are looking into moving a number of websites to Microsoft Azure. We believe the App Service standard tier S1 service will meet most of our needs.
Unfortunately, it offers a maximum of 50Gb of storage. Is it possible to add storage to the service plan overall? (e.g. the storage will be available to all of the apps on the app service).
I know you can add blob storage to each app individually, but we would prefer to increase the available storage on the service plan as a whole.
It seems to me that 50GB is the limit on a standard plan.
App Service limits
Standard; 50GB.
Premium; 500GB.
I suppose this leaves you with (at least) the following options.
Azure subscription and service limits, quotas, and constraints
If you want to raise the limit or quota above the Default Limit, open an online customer support request at no charge. The limits can't be raised above the Maximum Limit...If there is no Maximum Limit column, then the resource doesn't have adjustable limits.
Find some other solution which removes the need to place data on your App Service. Such as a dedicated Azure storage mechanism, e.g. blobs, CDNs, Redis Cache, SQL, etc.
Look into App Service Environment.
App Service limits
The storage limit [of an App Service] is the total content size across all apps in the same App Service plan. More storage options are available in App Service Environment.
App Service Environment Storage
Each ASE is configured with 500 GB of storage. This space is used across all the apps in the ASE.
