Swap Deployment

  • Artikel

 

The Swap Deployment asynchronous operation initiates a virtual IP address swap between the staging and production deployment environments for a service. If the service is currently running in the staging environment, it will be swapped to the production environment. If it is running in the production environment, it will be swapped to staging.

Request

The Swap Deployment request may be specified as follows. Replace <subscription-id> with the subscription ID, and <cloudservice-name> with the name of the cloud service.

Response Header

Description

x-ms-request-id

Remarks

If the Swap Deployment operation is specified with deployment names that do not match what is currently in production and staging, status code 409 (Conflict) is returned.

You can swap VIP addresses only if the number of endpoints specified by the service definition is identical for both deployments. For example, if you add an HTTPS endpoint to a web role that previously exposed only an HTTP endpoint, you cannot upgrade your service by swapping VIP addresses; you must delete your production deployment and redeploy instead. You can obtain information about endpoints that are used by using the Get Deployment operation.
