You are managing an Azure App Service hosting a mission-critical web application.

The development team releases new code weekly. You need to implement a deployment strategy that allows you to:

  1. Deploy the new code to a staging environment that mirrors production.
  2. Route exactly 10% of live production traffic to the new code to test its stability.
  3. Instantly swap the staging environment to production with zero downtime if the test is successful.

Which TWO features of Azure App Service must you use? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

A.

Deployment Slots

B.

Traffic Routing

C.

Azure Traffic Manager

D.

App Service Autoscale

E.

Azure Front Door

How to approach this question

Identify the App Service features used for staging environments and A/B testing.

Full Answer

Azure App Service Deployment Slots allow you to deploy your app to a staging environment. You can validate the changes and then perform a swap, which exchanges the IP addresses of the slots, resulting in zero downtime. To test stability with live users, you use the App Service Traffic Routing feature (also known as Testing in Production), which allows you to route a specific percentage of traffic (e.g., 10%) to the staging slot.

Common mistakes

Selecting Traffic Manager. Traffic Manager is a DNS-based global load balancer. App Service Traffic Routing is the native feature for splitting traffic between slots.
