It depends.... has the app an WEBSITE_SWAP_WARMUP_PING_PATH set to /statuscheck?? Seriously, I hold multiple certifications, tricky hands-on ones but this certification is a joke. Microsoft, who is designing those questions?!? It's not just this one, there are so many bad questions.

Same experience here. I have many AWS certifications, OCP-11 certification, etc. This is really a joke of a certification. I do not even know what Microsoft expects and more importantly the kind of people ready to live with this kind of questions from Microsoft and trying to remember it.

Ok, my bad autoswap has to be configured on the Staging Slot. So "You enable auto swap on the Production deployment slot." is not what you would do. Answer is A (NO).

Copilot AI: The solution you proposed does meet the goal. Disabling auto swap, updating the app with a method named statuscheck to run the scripts, re-enabling auto swap and deploying the app to the Production slot is one of the possible ways to ensure that scripts run and resources are available before a swap operation occurs. This method uses the applicationInitialization configuration element in the web.config file to specify the statuscheck method as a custom initialization action. The statuscheck method will run the scripts and check the availability of the resources before the app is swapped.

How can it say: Correct Answer: B 🗳️ then, "Instead" update the web.config file to include the applicationInitialization configuration element.. Sounds very wrong!

Yes, the solution should meet the goal of ensuring that scripts run and resources are available before a swap operation occurs. By disabling auto swap, the deployment to the Production slot will not occur until it is manually initiated. Then, the app can be updated with a method named statuscheck to run the necessary scripts and ensure that resources are available. Once the app has been updated, auto swap can be re-enabled and the updated app can be deployed to the Production slot. This approach allows for greater control over when the swap occurs and ensures that the necessary steps are taken before the swap happens.

The answer is A, you still need to set the WEBSITE_WARMUP_PATH in app settings WEBSITE_WARMUP_PATH: A relative path on the site that should be pinged whenever the site restarts (not only during slot swaps). Example values include /statuscheck or the root path, /. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-staging-slots#Auto-Swap

Deploy the app directly to the Production slot will fail the auto swap. But that is a detail in the question that will be missed by a person who did some reading on the auto swap because he is thinking of app initialization option vs custom_warmup with those properties. Do not be evil, Microsoft.

although the provided explaination in the answer section, is not related to the correct option, however, the solution provided in the question would actually work, and that's is the correct "Manual Way" of making sure the deployment slot is warmed up and running before swap, so the solution would work and correct.

I say A, "No". The reason why setting up auto swap is to warm up the application to prevent downtime, so deploying to the production slot directly is killing the purpose. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-staging-slots#specify-custom-warm-up
