Deploying an ASP.NET Core app - Will it Deploy? Episode 1

Will it Deploy? is a new video series launched by Rob Pearson, focusing on automating the deployment of various technologies using Octopus Deploy, starting with an ASP.NET Core web app on Microsoft's Azure platform. The series aims to make deployment more engaging by automating cloud infrastructure provisioning and ensuring zero-downtime production deployment through a blue-green deployment pattern. The deployment process involves several steps, including setting up an Octopus Azure account, provisioning cloud infrastructure via an Azure Resource Manager Template, using Azure Powershell scripts for staging and production slot management, and deploying the web app to an App Service staging slot. The series encourages viewers to learn how to automate their application and service deployments and invites them to suggest frameworks or technologies for future episodes.
