HOTSPOT
You need to configure a new Azure App Service app named WebApp1. The solution must
meet the following requirements:
WebApp1 must be able to verify a custom domain name of app.contoso.com.
WebApp1 must be able to automatically scale up to eight instances.
Costs and administrative effort must be minimized.
Which pricing plan should you choose, and which type of record should you use to verify the
domain? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Yeah, Standard with TXT record makes sense here. Only Standard plan supports scaling to 8 instances, and Azure always uses a TXT record for domain verification. Saw a similar question pop up in some exam reports. Correct me if I missed something!
Standard plan, TXT record
Standard plan with TXT record is what I've seen in official Microsoft guides and practice tests for this autoscale and domain verify combo. Pretty sure Basic can't autoscale to 8, so Standard hits both needs. Correct me if I'm off here.
Standard plan with TXT record is the combo Azure wants for both custom domain verification and autoscale up to 8 instances. Basic doesn't meet the scaling need. If anyone sees a reason to pick another plan, let me know.
Standard plan with TXT record. Official docs and practice tests both reinforce this for autoscale plus domain verification, so feels solid.
Does Basic plan actually support scaling to eight instances, or is Standard the minimum needed? Also, for domain verification I thought TXT is required rather than just a CNAME? Can someone confirm?
Standard plan, TXT record. Basic would be cheaper but it tops out at 3 instances, and the question says you need autoscale up to 8. Pretty sure Standard is the minimum for that requirement. Anyone disagree with picking Standard here?
Actually, it's Standard plan and TXT record. Basic tier can't go up to 8 instances for autoscale, that's where Standard comes in.
Basic plan with TXT record. From what I recall, Basic supports custom domains and is definitely cheaper, which helps keep costs low like they're asking. The only thing is autoscaling-Basic lets you scale out but hits its limit at 3 instances. If the question isn't super strict on hitting 8 instances (maybe that's just a future option), Basic could work. Let me know if I'm missing a catch here.
Basic plan with CNAME record, encountered exactly similar question in my exam.
