How can I test a Cloud Service http endpoint while migrating to Cloud Services extended support?

Question

I am migrating a Cloud Services (classic) deployment to Cloud Services (extended support). Our deployment provides HTTP endpoints.

I am using the "Migrate to ARM" functionality in the portal. The "Prepare" step is complete, and my ARM resources have been created, but I don't know how I can access them to test that they are ready to answer requests correctly. The public IP and public domain name (myservice.cloudapp.net) assigned to the new ARM resources are still pointing at the "classic" deployment since I haven't "committed" the migration yet.

What I'd like to be able to do is send HTTP requests to the new Cloud Services (extended support) instances for my service before I "commit" to the migration operation.

Hello Sean Mahan

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.
Currently, there is no way to check without committing. The migration leaves the VMs and NICs and IP addresses and DNS names intact metadata is migrated to Cloud Service.

Everything is pointing to the same deployment before and after commit.

So, your migrated cloud service will continue to run correctly post-migration.

Hope this helps.
