- Functions
create multiple ASEs within a single Azure region or across multiple Azure regions
ASEs are isolated to running only a single customer's applications and are always deployed into a virtual network. Customers have fine-grained control over inbound and outbound application network traffic
ASE comes with its own pricing tier, learn how the Isolated offering helps drive hyper-scale and security. App Service Environments v2 provide a surrounding to safeguard your apps in a subnet of your network and provides your own private deployment of Azure App Service.
Multiple ASEs can be used to scale horizontally.
ASEs can be used to configure security architecture, as shown in the AzureCon Deep Dive. To see how the security architecture shown in the AzureCon Deep Dive was configured, see the article on how to implement a layered security architecture with App Service environments.
Apps running on ASEs can have their access gated by upstream devices, such as web application firewalls (WAFs).
An ASE is dedicated exclusively to a single subscription and can host 100 App Service Plan instances.

WebJobs is a feature of Azure App Service that enables you to run a program or script in the same context as a web app, API app, or mobile app.
| Continuous | Triggered |
|---|---|
| Starts immediately when the WebJob is created. To keep the job from ending, the program or script typically does its work inside an endless loop. If the job does end, you can restart it. | Starts only when triggered manually or on a schedule. |
| Runs on all instances that the web app runs on. You can optionally restrict the WebJob to a single instance. | Runs on a single instance that Azure selects for load balancing. |
| Supports remote debugging. | Doesn't support remote debugging. |
