Conventions Used

There are several text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: If you already have a resource deployed, you can list the resource details with az resource list --name "<resource name>", substituting <resource name> with the name of your resource.

A block of code is set as follows:

{
  "name": "ORIGINAL_SLOT",
  "value": "Production",
  "slotSetting": false
},
{
  "name": "CURRENT_SLOT",
  "value": "Production",
  "slotSetting": true
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

<feature name="demofeature">
  <h1>Demo feature enabled!</h1>
</feature>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

az appservice plan create -n "<plan name>" -g "<resource group>" --sku "<SKU code>" --is-linux

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: If you predicted the sudden rise, perhaps due to seasonal patterns, you may have gone through a capital expenditure (CapEx) process.
