Upgrade the Azure App Service

By default, Nerdio Manager is installed with the Basic App Service tier (B3). In some instances, the Azure App Service must be upgraded to Premium. For example, if you wish to harden Nerdio Manager by using VNet integration, then you may need to upgrade to Premium (Production P2v3 or P3v3), depending on your existing plan features. Please note that some Basic plans support VNet integration. For details, see Generally available: Enhanced network security features for App Service Basic SKU. Other App Service features, such as backups or private endpoints, also require upgrading.

To upgrade the Azure App Service:

1. In the Azure portal, locate the Nerdio Manager App Service resource.

   Note: It typically has a name in the following format: nmw-app-xxxxxxxxx.

2. Within the menu on the left-hand side of the App Service blade, scroll down to the Settings section.

3. Select Scale up (App Service plan).

4. Select the Production tab.

5. Select the desired tier.

   Tip: We recommend the Production P2v3 or P3v3 tier.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade.

   Warning: Upgrading the App Service causes a short, temporary interruption as the web server is moved to a new hosting node. User connections to AVD pools are not dependent on Nerdio Manager remaining online, so it is generally safe to do this during production hours. It is advised to wait to apply these changes while a major migration or complex task is being executed within the console. In addition, auto-scale resumes and catches up any missed tasks once the App Service is back online.
