I am using Azure app service for hosting my web application. I have three slots namely 1. Development, 2.Staging , 3.Production.
I usually go with publishing my website into Development slot and I will swap to Staging and Production.
Whether running additional two slots will affect my production slot performance? And will be billed separately?
App content and configurations elements can be swapped between two deployment slots, including the production slot. Deploying your application to a non-production slot has the following benefits: You can validate app changes in a staging deployment slot before swapping it with the production slot.
You can add additional deployment slots for a total of 5 deployment slots that can be swapped with the production slot, or other non-production slots. The 4 additional slots can be used for staging and testing purposes.
Azure Functions deployment slots allow your function app to run different instances called "slots". Slots are different environments exposed via a publicly available endpoint. One app instance is always mapped to the production slot, and you can swap instances assigned to a slot on demand.
We now have 2 versions of our application code in azure. One version is the production version in the production slot and the second version is the staging version in the staging slot. You can even divert a percentage of your production traffic and see how your application behaves.
As described in the Azure pricing page, specific tiers of Azure App Services contain a number of staging environments (deployment slots). These are included in the app service plan, whether you use them or not. Cost is based on tier and number of instances, not number of slots.
All resources within an App Service plan share the same resources (e.g. if you launch many web apps in the same App Service plan, they all share the same instances). All deployment slots for a given web app reside within the same App Service plan.
