Yeah, I agree with you. VIP swapping feels a bit outdated for this kind of scenario. Azure Traffic Manager could work, but I'm leaning more towards the web app deployment slots option. That seems like a more modern and Azure-specific solution that could handle the gradual rollout requirement.

But what about Azure Traffic Manager? Couldn't that also help us distribute users across the environments?

Exactly. I think web app deployment slots are the way to go. It's the most straightforward solution that meets the requirements.

True, but I think Traffic Manager is more for routing traffic between different Azure regions, not within the same project. It might be overkill for this use case.

I'm not convinced that VIP swapping is the right solution here. Isn't that more of an on-premises kind of thing? I feel like we should be looking at more cloud-native solutions, like maybe Azure Traffic Manager or even the web app deployment slots option.

Haha, VIP swapping, that takes me back. Remember the good old days of manual IIS deployments? 'Have you tried turning it off and on again?' Anyway, I think you're right, C) VIP swapping could be a good fit here. It allows you to gradually shift traffic between the two environments.

Alright, I'm convinced. Deployment slots it is. Now let's just hope the exam question doesn't have a trick up its sleeve!

Hmm, I'm not sure about B) Azure Traffic Manager. Wouldn't that be more for load balancing across different regions or data centers? I feel like the requirement of gradually increasing the number of users in environment2 might be better suited to something like VIP swapping.

I agree, this is a good question. It's testing our knowledge of Azure deployment options. I'm leaning towards either B) Azure Traffic Manager or C) VIP swapping as the potential solutions here.

This is an interesting question. It seems to be testing our understanding of different ways to distribute users across environments in Azure DevOps. I think the key requirements here are being able to gradually increase the number of users in the new environment and only allowing a subset of users to access the new release initially.
