Question

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You develop and deploy an Azure App Service API app to a Windows-hosted deployment slot named Development. You create additional deployment slots named Testing and Production. You enable auto swap on the Production deployment slot. You need to ensure that scripts run and resources are available before a swap operation occurs. Solution: Disable auto swap. Update the app with a method named statuscheck to run the scripts. Re-enable auto swap and deploy the app to the Production slot. Does the solution meet the goal?

Explanation

Instead update the web.config file to include the applicationInitialization configuration element. Specify custom initialization actions to run the scripts. Note: Some apps might require custom warm-up actions before the swap. The applicationInitialization configuration element in web.config lets you specify custom initialization actions. The swap operation waits for this custom warm-up to finish before swapping with the target slot. Here's a sample web.config fragment. <system.webServer> <applicationInitialization> <add initializationPage="/" hostName="[app hostname]" /> <add initializationPage="/Home/About" hostName="[app hostname]" /> </applicationInitialization> </system.webServer> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-staging-slots#troubleshoot-swaps
