I just setup my first Azure Web App deployment- I have a single package that needs to be deployed as 3 different web apps in 2 different environments, Test and Production. The “Legacy Mode” seems to be the most efficient for me- I have 2 Azure Accounts, one each for Test and Production, along with 2 Resource Groups (App-Test and App-Production).
This allows for a simple set of Variables between 3 projects.
Non-Legacy mode would require a new Deployment Target for each App and Environment, essentially requiring a new Target Role per app. This seems like a huge step backwards from legacy mode.
Is there any documentation on why it’s now a Legacy Mode? Perhaps I’m missing something?
When/Is “Legacy Mode” going to be removed? This deployment will eventually span 11 Apps across 4 environments, and there’s no way I’m going to try and maintain 44 Deployment targets for a single deployment.
I’m not using a Management Certificate in my process, but I am binding Account, Resource Group, and Web App to variables so I don’t have to have 44 deployment targets.
I’m assuming this feature will go away soon, as the blog post makes it sound like I should be paying for all 44 deployment targets???
Hi @seanl ,
Thanks for getting in touch! I’m sorry for the delay in getting back to you here and I’m sorry to hear that the recent retirement of the legacy webapps in Azure have caused trouble here.
