Difference between Azure Microsot.Web/ serverFams vs hostingEnvironments

Question

I'm creating a new subnet to host an App Service and there are two Web options to "SUBNET DELEGATION":

• Microsoft.Web/hostingEnvironments
• Microsoft.Web/serverFarms

What is the difference between them?

Answer 1

Microsoft.Web hostingEnvironments

• You can define privateEndpointconnections and workerPools
• hostingEnvironmentProfile - App Service Environment to use for the app.

Microsoft.Web/serverFarms

• You can define gateways and routes.
• serverFarmId - Resource ID of the associated App Service plan, formatted as: "/subscriptions/{subscriptionID}/resourceGroups/{groupName}/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/{appServicePlanName}".

You can refer to Microsoft.Web/serverFarms and Custom configuration settings for App Service Environments
