Question

how to enable swap slot to stop after deployment in azure pipeline

Darragh Martin 86

ive set up a pipeline in azure that allows me to use a swapslot when deploying but I would like to stop the swapslot after deployment so it does not consume resources. It would also mean I would have to start it before doing a deployment. Is there way of going about this in the pipeline or in the releases? I have yet to come up with a solution

Hello Darragh,

Based on my understanding your requirement is to Delay/Hold your deployment slots swap until a manual validation is performed, and then trigger a swap after successful testing on staging slot.

After your deployment stage in your YML file I would add an additional jobs/step such as below:

- job: waitForValidation
  dependsOn: Deployment to your Environment
  displayName: 'Wait for approval or validation to swap slots'
  timeoutInMinutes: 35780 
  pool: server
  steps:
  - task: ManualValidation@0
    displayName: 'Wait for approval to swap slots'
    inputs:
      notifyUsers: 
          ******@xyz.com 

- job: swapSlot
  dependsOn: waitforValidation
  steps:
  - task: AzureAppServiceManager@0
    inputs:
      azureSubscription: 'Your Subscription Information'
      Action: 'Swap Slots'
      WebAppName: 'your app name'
      ResourceGroupName: 'your resourcegroup name'
      SourceSlot: 'slot-1'

Hope this helps to meet your requirements.

Thanks.

I didn't make any adjustments to my yml file as I saw there was no need to do so. I instead added some additional tasks to my pipeline setup by using the Azure App service manage to incorporate the start and stop methods and worked perfectly but I appreciate the help from you all.
