Objectives

• Task 1: Create an Azure web app.
  • Create a web app by using the Azure portal.
  • The web app should run on Windows and use the PHP runtime stack.
• Task 2: Create a staging deployment slot.
  • Verify there's a production deployment slot.
  • Create a new staging deployment slot.
• Task 3: Configure Web App deployment settings.
  • Deploy your web app from a local Git session.
  • Provide the authentication credentials.
• Task 4: Deploy code to the staging deployment slot.
  • Use Azure PowerShell to clone the remote repository and set the local path.
  • Add the remote Git session by using the authentication credentials.
  • Display the default web page in a new browser tab.
  • Push the sample web app code from the local repository to the Azure Web App staging deployment slot.
• Task 5: Swap the staging slots.
  • Swap the deployment slots.
  • Verify the default web page is replaced with the Hello World page.
• Task 6: Configure and test autoscaling of your Azure web app.
  • Configure a custom autoscale rule on the production deployment slot.
  • The scale rule should use the CPU percentage to increase the resource count.
  • Use Azure PowerShell to start an infinite loop that sends the HTTP requests to your web app.
  • Confirm the resource count automatically scales.
