Using Deployment Slots in Azure App Service

Azure App Service makes it easy to deploy a new version of an app to production, but you’d normally want to test it thoroughly first. So you need a testing environment that’s as close as possible to your production environment. App Service has a great solution. It’s called a deployment slot. In this lesson, we’ll show you how to use deployment slots in a variety of ways.
