Using Deployment Slots in Azure App Service
Azure App Service makes it easy to deploy a new version of an app to production, but you’d normally want to test it thoroughly first. So you need a testing environment that’s as close as possible to your production environment. App Service has a great solution. It’s called a deployment slot. In this lesson, we’ll show you how to use deployment slots in a variety of ways.
Learning Objectives
- Create and use deployment slots on Azure App Service
- Configure App Service deployment slots with slot-specific settings, auto swap, custom warm-up, and traffic splitting
Intended Audience
- Anyone who wants to learn an easy method to test code before putting it into production on Azure App Service
Prerequisites
- Experience using Azure App Service (or take our Introduction to Azure App Service lesson)
