When I Start Debugging (F5) in Visual Studio, which configuration file (example: ApplicationParameters\Local.5Node.xml) does it use to deploy to my local service fabric cluster? And more importantly, where is that configured?

Experiment

I changed my local cluster to 1 node and the deployment (via F5) seemed to automatically pick up on this an use Local.1Node.xml. I guess it is querying the cluster?

Real Goal

My real goal is to create another configuration file Local.Mike.1Node.xml and make that the default when I hit F5.

You can create a custom Publish Profile that refers to your custom Application Parameters file Local.Mike.1Node.xml. Then you can pass the Publish Profile in the parameter -PublishProfileFile to Scripts\Deploy-FabricApplication.ps1.

You'll have to disable automatic deployment, and then call Scripts\Deploy-FabricApplication.ps1 with your modified parameter (maybe in a post-build event?).

Honestly though, I think you're better off just modifying the default Local.1Node.xml with your custom parameters - you can always recreate a default file by creating a new SF project, or go directly to the project templates themselves.
