Exploring App Service Deployment Slots

Introduction

Explore the benefits of App Service deployment slots on Azure.

In this lesson, we delve into App Service deployment slots, a powerful feature that allows you to create multiple environments—such as staging or testing—within a single App Service.

This setup enables you to test changes and preview new features in isolation without impacting your production environment.

Key Advantage

With deployment slots, you can seamlessly swap content and configurations between environments. This process ensures smooth and efficient deployments while minimizing downtime.

Let's begin by exploring how staging environments work:
