Is App Service Serverless?

Please excuse me if this is a very beginner level question.
I am not able to find any convincing answer to this one.
As per my understanding, both azure function and azure web jobs Or App service are part of PaaS.
Azure manages all infrastructure. So it should be server less. I know Azure function is.

HI @SG-0671,

As far as I know Azure App Service is not serverless, but you can leverage it on serverless by using Azure Function, also if you check the Azure App Service plans, each plan defines the region, number of VM instances etc...

For more information, see:

App Service overview
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/overview

Azure App Service plan overview

Understood.. So basically anything in Azure where you can't manage the plan. I.e you don;t have control over the infrastructure. It's serverless.
I had confusion with App Service because you can define auto scaling in App service so in turn you are giving control over to azure to manage infra.
But in App service if auto scale is not defined you are the one responsible to maintain Infrastructure settings.
