Programmatically Swap Staging Slot to Production Slot in Azure Cloud Service

Question

So unfortunately we haven't upgraded from Azure Cloud Service to App Service yet. But I'm wondering how to automatically swap the Staging slot to Production slot with a Release Task.

The automated Release sequence is something like: 1) deploy to staging, 2) manual confirmation to swap staging to production slot, and 3) (after manual confirmation received) swap slots and delete staging instance.

Answer 1

Yes so the script from here works to swap Staging and Production slots:

However, I had to set the Azure Powershell task to use an older version and classic resources.
