Azure Cloud Service - Custom Deployment Label

Hello there,

I was wondering whether it is already possible or whether I might suggest customizing the 'Deployment Label' as it shows up in the Azure management site for an Azure Cloud Service deployment?

Basically right now a the build {version} seems to be set there, but what would be great is if I could customize that, e.g. have my git commit sha1 show up there that triggered the build & deployment.

Is that somehow possible already or something potentially possible in the future?

Cheers and thanks,
-J

   Hi Jorg,

   We can add that option and deploy update this week. Currently, it's hard-coded to {version}.

   Jorg,

   An update has been deployed. There is a new deployment_label setting for AzureCS deployment provider.

   Woohoo! nice! I am currently implementing a larger feature-set on a separate branch and not deploying until it's done, but I'll give it a try then! Thanks!!

   Alright, first deployment and apparently I did it wrong (TM) - the label in Azure is '{version}-{commitId}' now (exactly how I specified it in the Environment's settings).

   What would be the correct syntax for '<Build Version>-<Commit SHA>' ... Build version being e.g. 0.0.41 etc.

   Thanks!

   Use '$(variable)' syntax like in any other deployment provider settings. The list of standard environment variables: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/environment-variables
