Blue/green deployments with AppVeyor Deployment Agent
Hi,
I'm planning on using the AppVeyor Deployment Agent. I've used it successfully in my staging environment, which has one server. However, in production, we have a blue/green setup, i.e. two servers. What would be the recommended way to deploy in this case? Obviously, I want to deploy to green if blue is live and only make the switch if the deployment was successful. Should I set up two environments in AppVeyor UI? Because I assume that using the same environment access key on two servers would mean it gets deployed to two servers at once.
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Yes, I think you need two deployment environments for that as, you are right, using the same access key would deploy the same build in parallel.
Also, you would need some sort of synchronization/switching logic in your deployment script.
