Standard plan

As explained in Microsoft Azure in Action

A Standard plan is a Logic Apps or Azure Functions hosting and billing plan that provides a defined capacity model and features distinct from consumption-based execution.

A Standard plan runs a Logic App or Azure Functions workload on dedicated capacity. You pay for that capacity whether executions are busy or taking a coffee break, unlike Consumption billing. section 8.3 section 2.5

Standard hosting supports single-tenant stateful and stateless workflows. Workflows in one Logic App share processing, storage, and networking, while hosting choices determine isolation and operational flexibility. section 2.2.9 section 8.3

Common Standard hosting choices include:

  • Workflow Standard, optimized for Logic Apps while also supporting Azure Functions. section 8.3
  • App Service plans, which provide familiar dedicated hosting tiers. section 8.3
  • App Service Environment and App Service Environment v3, for isolated workloads and network isolation at scale. section 8.3
  • Hybrid hosting, which keeps infrastructure under your control while Azure manages deployment and the control plane. section 8.3

Choosing hosting for an image workflow

For an image-processing Logic App that connects Azure services with a third-party service, open the Azure Portal, select Standard, and choose the hosting variation that matches the required capacity, isolation, and network arrangement. Consumption remains the alternative when paying per execution is more suitable. section 8.3 section 2.2.9

How Microsoft Azure in Action covers it

How deep it goes
Defines billing, hosting variants, tenancy, and shared resources, but defers detailed Standard configuration and implementation.
Examples
Uses Azure Portal Logic App creation, an image-processing workflow, and a visual comparison of hosting plan types.
What it assumes
Assumes familiarity with Azure subscriptions, resource groups, names, and regions while explaining hosting choices from the creation wizard.
What you can do after
Configure Logic Apps by selecting Standard hosting and matching its capacity, isolation, network, and pricing model to the workload.
How it connects
Connects Logic Apps and Azure Functions with App Service plans, App Service Environment, Consumption plans, and single-tenant architecture.
