Select Hosting Plan for Function App

You work as a Serverless Architecture Designer for MDFT Pro, a well-known training agency that delivers certification courses to students globally. Mark, the Platform Engineering Manager, has asked you to design two Azure Function apps to process student assessment data.

• App1 is Windows-based and will be deployed as compiled C# code to handle exam grading and score calculations.
• App2 is Linux-based and will be deployed as a custom container image that runs specialized plagiarism detection algorithms with specific Python library dependencies and custom ML models.

Performance testing indicates that both apps will process requests taking between 1 and 10 minutes to complete, depending on the assessment complexity and submission volume.

The Function apps must support these long-running operations without timing out, provide event-driven autoscaling that automatically increases capacity during peak exam periods (when hundreds of students submit assessments simultaneously) and decreases during off-peak hours, and maximize the upper scaling limit to accommodate the highest possible number of concurrent student submissions during finals week.

Which hosting plan should you choose for App2 (the Linux-based container deployment)?
