Fantastic video. This is way beyond my capability, so my secrets remained burned into my source, but I should take some days off to learn the whole dreaded DevOps thing! 👍

[@RahulNath]

Glad you liked it and found it useful. I have a series on DevOps where I explain some of these concepts in itself. bit.ly/azure-devops-series Feel free to reach out if you have questions.

[@chairmakerPete]

@@RahulNath thank you very much, Rahul! I really like your videos which are clear, concise and move at pace, so I'll learn more about the whole DevOps thing then watch this one again with more background knowledge. In my day, we copied the .exe file to a disc or memory stick, dumped it on a server or PC, and that was the installation done and dusted! 🙂 Bit more complicated these days, though a million times better once you've climbed the learning curve. Thanks again! 👍

[@ranielgarcia8685]

hi Rahul. when I am trying to update variables from azure portal, it is not affecting changes, the only difference I found is that in configuration-> application setting when I add new variable it shows "App service" as source, in your video it shows "App service config". could you help me please?

Hi Rahul, thanks for the wonderful tutorial video. I have given input appsettings.json in the field JSON variable substitution. But during release I am getting the error "NO JSON file matched with specific pattern: appsettings.json."

[@RahulNath]

Hey Manas, looks like mostly the file is not packaged as part of the build? Is it set to be copied into the bin folder and packaged in the pipeline? Or make sure the path to the file is correct. The logs should have more details on where it's looking. Let me know if that helps.

[@afshinz.k4518]

What if we create a release variable token in json file eg : __UserName__ and let pipeline replace it?

[@RahulNath]

Yes you can - appsettings is also a json file. What problem are you facing Afshin?

[@orafasistemas]

Thank you so much.... you have shared so much ..... thank you.

[@sumangeorge7]

Thanks for the video... We have old .net framework with web.config, how can we achieve this with web.config?

[@RahulNath]

Should work the same way as with json files - You would set the transform on the web.config file instead of appsettings - docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/transforms-variable-substitution?view=azure-devops&tabs=Classic&WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5003875. Hope that helps? Let me know if you have additional questions.

[@hanimv]

Hi Rahul, Is there a way to do transformation across the app service deployment slots. For eg, we have different slots like, staging, qa and we publish to these slots using Visual studio publish feature. Having different appsettings.{slotname>.json didnt help.

[@RahulNath]

In DevOps you can use environment specific variables . I show this in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXfVZ4mhrJWgp5o Let know if that helps

[@hanimv]

​@@RahulNath Thanks Rahul, You always reply on prompt. For now we are not using the devops, but directly using publish feature in Visual studio

Thanks a lot!! please can you help me to know how add ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT variable from Azure pipeline release to app serveces?? or do you have some video where explain it

[@RahulNath]

How are you creating the App Services? If you are creating it using the Azure Pipeline, best is to set it up on the create step as an environment variable. I talk about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXq1qKeYfNGmns0&ab_channel=RahulNath. Let me know if that helps.

[@StevenGomezC]

@@RahulNath Thank you very much, although in the video I couldn't find how to send or set variables from the pipeline to the app services.

[@hemantpanchal8087]

Thank you for this amazing video, Can you please tell me which is most recommended one and easy to manage?

[@RahulNath]

A lot depends on your use case Hemant. But I would start from the last and go back. Managed Identity works best since it's one time set up and you don't have to worry about passwords/connection strings. You can read more about Managed Identity in these posts www.rahulpnath.com/blog/defaultazurecredential-from-azure-sdk/ Hope that answers your question?
