The staging slots are included as part of your App Service tier. A used slot does not cause extra charges as far as the App Service pricing goes. But since they are part of a shared resource, usage on a staging slot can effect the overall performance of the VM. However, a staged site may incur other costs on Azure. In Azure App Services, you can very easily add an additional deployment slot. This is a full-fledged App Service – in this case, another Web App – that sits next to your original Web App. The deployment slot has a different URL, maybe something like staging.website.com. Your users would be accessing your original Web App because that is your production environment slot.

- For each of the web apps, deploy to staging slot
- For each of the web apps, auto-swap to production slot is triggered
- For each of the web apps, swap back (something goes wrong)
