Do Azure websites go cold in Standard mode?

Question

I just scaled my SHARED Azure websites to run in STANDARD mode on a small instance size scaled from 1 to 3 instances based on CPU. I've seen conflicting information about sites going cold in standard mode. Do I need to utilize endpoint monitoring to keep the site warm or will it always stay warm running in Standard mode?

Answer 1

When your site is in STANDARD mode you can enable the Always On feature (in the portal under the CONFIGURATION tab) and your site (all instances of it) will always be up (warm).
