  • Updated default Virtual Machine and Scale set skus for new deployments: To maintain consistency with our public cloud service, new deployments of Azure App Service on Azure Stack Hub will use the following SKUs for the underlying machines and scale sets used to operate the resource provider

    Role Minimum SKU
    Controller Standard_A4_v2 - (4 cores, 8192 MB)
    Management Standard_D3_v2 - (4 cores, 14336 MB)
    Publisher Standard_A2_v2 - (2 cores, 4096 MB)
    FrontEnd Standard_A4_v2 - (4 cores, 8192 MB)
    Shared Worker Standard_A4_v2 - (4 cores, 8192 MB)
    Small dedicated worker Standard_A1_v2 - (1 core, 2048 MB)
    Medium dedicated worker Standard_A2_v2 - (2 cores, 4096 MB)
    Large dedicated worker Standard_A4_v2 - (4 cores, 8192 MB)

For ASDK deployments, you can scale the instances down to lower SKUs to reduce the core and memory commit but you will experience a performance degradation.
