Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

To ensure that your Azure Web App named az400-38443478-main supports rolling upgrades and only 10 percent of users connect to the updated version of the app, you can use deployment slots with the following steps:

Create a Deployment Slot:

Navigate to the Azure Portal.

Go to your Web App az400-38443478-main.

Select Deployment slots in the menu.

Click on Add Slot.

Name the slot (e.g., staging) and if needed, clone settings from the production slot.

Configure the Traffic Percentage:

In the Deployment Slots menu, you will see a column for Traffic %.

Set the traffic percentage to 10% for the staging slot1.

This will route only 10% of the traffic to the updated version of the app in the staging slot.

Deploy the Updated App to the Staging Slot:

Deploy your updated application to the staging slot.

Test the application in the staging slot to ensure it's working as expected.

Complete the Rolling Upgrade:

Once you're satisfied with the performance and stability of the app in the staging slot, you can gradually increase the percentage of traffic until you're ready to swap with the production slot.

To swap slots, go to the Deployment slots menu and click on Swap with the production slot.

By using deployment slots, you can achieve rolling upgrades with minimal administrative effort, as it allows you to test the new version on a subset of users before fully releasing it. Remember to adjust the traffic percentage and monitor the application's performance throughout the process.

Wait, how do you even control the 10%?

I feel like we might need to use Azure Traffic Manager or something similar to control the user distribution during the upgrade.

This reminds me of a practice question where we had to configure a similar scenario with Azure App Services. I think we used the Azure portal for that.

I'm not entirely sure about the percentage settings, but I remember something about traffic routing that could help limit users to 10 percent.

I think we need to look into deployment slots for the Azure Web App to manage the rolling upgrades effectively.

Sounds good, that should minimize the administrative effort too. I'll make sure to test the updated version thoroughly before swapping the slots.

No problem, I've done this kind of thing before. I'll set up two deployment slots, one for the current version and one for the updated version. Then I'll configure the traffic routing to send 10% of users to the updated slot.

Wait, what? Deployment slots and traffic routing? I'm not sure I fully understand how to do that. I might need to review the Azure Web App documentation again.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about how to approach the rolling upgrades and limiting the percentage of users on the updated version.

I agree. By using deployment slots, we can easily control the percentage of users who see the updated version without much manual effort.

Yes, that makes sense. We can use deployment slots to deploy the updated version and gradually route traffic to it.

Hold on, did they say 'minimize administrative effort'? Sounds like someone's feeling lazy today. Hey, as long as it works, who am I to judge?

I'm imaging the developers right now, frantically testing and retesting to make sure that 10% doesn't turn into a 100% dumpster fire. Good luck, folks!
