Bring back way to swap webapp slots (e.g. ActiveSlot)

[dornfeder]

In the old "azure" package, there is a resource named ActiveSlot that let you swap a webapp slot to production. In the new "azure-native" package, I am missing that resource, and could not find any other in the docs that lets me do a swap.

Unless I did completely miss something, please bring back the ActiveSlot resource or a different way of swapping a slot to production. Alternatively, if there is a new way to swap slots that i could not find, please document it in a way so that it can be found.

Thank you.

It's a fair ask. We don't support it currently because WebApps_SwapSlotWithProduction is a POST operation and it doesn't really fit into our resource model automatically.

We'll track this for future improvements. For now, you'd have to use an Azure SDK from your Pulumi program to accomplish this.

Thanks for the info. Then I will use the old azure package for doing the swap, for the time being.

Hi guys, just on this one. You can achieve this with ARM templates by setting the buildVersion and targetBuildVersion properties, if the target build version is not the same to the build version it performs the swap. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-staging-slots#example-resource-manager-template

I can't find these properties in the azure native interface nor docs.
