How to update miscelleneous config file which is deployed in Azure Cloud Service
What is the best way to update a misc config file like log4net.config, loggly.user.config which are deployed with my azure cloud service.
i define cloud service configuration files per environment so I don't need to transform anything.
But I need to find a way to transform a random config file where I need to change a setting or two.

Well, if it's Azure cloud service and those
log4net.configandloggly.user.configare inside cloud service package there is no way to update them during the deployment. They should be updated during the build before cloud service package created.2 Posted by rajindersingh on 22 Mar, 2015 05:42 PM
I am trying to figure out how this will work. Before I ran into this issue I was able to create a build just once and deploy the same build to various environments.
If I have to change the config files before/during the build it will mean I have to create different appveyor projects to deploy to various environments. This also introduces the risk of somebody checking in code that is not in a lower environment.
I do have the option to merge these config files into my app.config or web.config files.
Will that help in any way?
I hope somebody can share how they are handling this type of situation.

I think this is exactly what you need:

I will use similar approach but my solution will be easier. I will most likely include all config files in my deployment and use this type of powershell script to copy the appropriate file.
So I will have loggly.dev.user.config, loggly.test.user.config etc.
Powershell script will read the ENV value in cloud configuration file and copy loggly.dev.user.config to loggly.user.config.
Thanks for finding this.
