I'm planning on hosting a moderately high-traffic Umbraco site with Azure. However, I'm not exactly certain which App Service and SQL Database plans will be appropriate. Would anyone with some experience running Umbraco in azure be able to give me some advice?
I don't have access to see the site's current resource consumption, but I do know it typically peaks at about 1,000 unique visitors per hour (~10,000 per day) and it is going to be a very straightforward Umbraco site - nothing fancy going on. I think the most traffic it ever received in one hour was about 2,500 visitors.
I plan on going with a more powerful plan than I think it needs for a few weeks and seeing where I should go from there, but at this point I don't really have a ballpark estimate - and that's all I'm really looking for if anyone would care to chime in.
I would recommend a S2 Web App (ideally 2 instances for SLA) and S2 or S3 SQL Azure DB. If you planning on 2 Instances or more you may need a Redis Cache for session state, I would recommend a minimum C1 for that.

Hi Jerreck,

Check out the Azure Web App documentation here

That helps me out a ton Jeavon, thank you!
Btw, I just saw that it's not necessary to have to two instances for SLA:
