QA signed off on the staging deployment slot for the municipal permits site. The team wants that build to become production while the public production URL stays unchanged. What should the developer do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Swap is the magic handshake: production keeps its name and URL while the validated bits slide underneath. No DNS surgery, no deleting production. Staging content moves; sticky settings stay put if marked.
Full Explanation
A slot swap exchanges content (and non-sticky settings) between slots while the production hostname continues to resolve to the production slot. Renaming slots in DNS or rebinding custom domains is unnecessary for a standard swap. Deleting production is not a release strategy.
