Azure Deployment With Warmup

rob_j_white · 5 March 2014 11:25

I am using Octopus Deploy to deploy a large web app to azure. I am currently deploying to the stating slot, and then swapping that to production. I would like to have a warm up script between these two steps. How can I get the url that azure has deployed to and use it in another step?

Hello,

When deploying to Azure, Octopus invokes a script called “DeployToAzure.ps1” if it finds it inside your NuGet package. If it can’t find a script with this name, then it will use a default version of the script.

You can view the default file here:

gist.github.com

gistfile1.ps1

## Octopus Azure deployment script, version 1.0
## --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
##
## This script is used to control how we deploy packages to Windows Azure. 
##
## When the script is run, the correct Azure subscription will ALREADY be selected,
## and we'll have loaded the neccessary management certificates. The Azure PowerShell module
## will also be loaded.  
##
## If you want to customize the Azure deployment process, simply copy this script into

This file has been truncated. show original

If you want to change how Azure deployments work, copy this file, make your changes, and add it to your NuGet file with the name DeployToAzure.ps1 at the root. You can use the Azure cmdlets inside this script to get the information that you need.

Hope that helps,

Paul
