Default value: Swap Slots.

Optional. Defines the action to perform on the App Service. You can start, stop, restart, slot swap, start swap with a preview, complete swap with a preview, cancel swap with a preview, install site extensions, or enable continuous monitoring for an Azure App Service.

WebAppName - App Service name
string. Required.

Enters or selects the name of an existing Azure App Service.

SpecifySlotOrASE - Specify Slot or App Service Environment
Input alias: SpecifySlot. boolean. Optional. Use when Action != Swap Slots && Action != Delete Slot && Action != Start Swap With Preview && Action != Complete Swap && Action != Cancel Swap. Default value: false.

ResourceGroupName - Resource group
string. Required when Action = Swap Slots || Action = Delete Slot || SpecifySlot = true || Action = Start Swap With Preview || Action = Complete Swap || Action = Cancel Swap.

Enters or selects the Azure Resource Group that contains the Azure App Service specified above.

SourceSlot - Source Slot
string. Required when Action = Swap Slots || Action = Start Swap With Preview || Action = Complete Swap.

Used as source slot when action == Swap Slots. The swap action directs destination slot's traffic to the source slot.

SwapWithProduction - Swap with Production
boolean. Optional. Use when Action = Swap Slots || Action = Start Swap With Preview || Action = Complete Swap. Default value: true.

Swaps the traffic of the source slot with production. If you don't select this option, then you need to provide the source and target slot names.

TargetSlot - Target Slot
string. Required when SwapWithProduction = false.

Use as the destination slot when action == Swap Slots. The swap action directs the destination slot's traffic to the source slot.

PreserveVnet - Preserve Vnet

Provides the variable name for the selected extension's local installation path.

This field is now deprecated and will be removed. Use the LocalPathsForInstalledExtensions variable from the Output Variables section in subsequent tasks.

AppInsightsResourceGroupName - Resource Group name for Application Insights
string. Required when Action == Enable Continuous Monitoring.

Enters or selects the resource group where your Application Insights resource is available.

ApplicationInsightsResourceName - Application Insights resource name
string. Required when Action == Enable Continuous Monitoring.

Selects the Application Insights resource where continuous monitoring data is recorded.

If your Application Insights resource is not listed here and you want to create a new resource, select +New. Once you create the resource in the Azure portal, come back here and select Refresh.

ApplicationInsightsWebTestName - Application Insights web test name
string. Optional. Use when Action == Enable Continuous Monitoring.

Optional. Enters the Application Insights web test name you want to create or update.

Task control options

All tasks have control options in addition to their task inputs. For more information, see Control options and common task properties.

Output variables

This task defines the following output variables, which you can consume in downstream steps, jobs, and stages.

LocalPathsForInstalledExtensions
This input is the local installation paths for the extensions you select.

If you select multiple extensions, the output is a comma-separated list of local paths for each of the extensions you select. The output lists the paths in the order they appear in the Install Extensions field.

Remarks

Use this task to start, stop, restart, slot swap, Swap with Preview, install site extensions, or enable continuous monitoring for an Azure App Service.

What happens during a swap

When you swap two slots (usually from a staging slot into the production slot), make sure that the production slot is always the target slot. This way, the swap operation doesn't affect your production app.

Also at any point of the swap (or swap with preview) operation, all work of initializing the swapped apps happens on the source slot. The target slot remains online while the source slot is being prepared and warmed up, regardless of where the swap succeeds or fails.

For more information, see Set up staging environments in Azure App Service.
