Is there any way we can prevent swapping of cloud configuration while swapping of slot?

Question

We are using classic cloud service and we have some configurations which are different for staging slot and production slot.

We are thinking to deployment automatically so, is there any way to Don't change configure while swapping server (deployment) ?

Yes, use only 1 slot (production) for continuous deployment. — Juanma Feliu, Apr 05 '21 at 08:23

Other way is do not use Slot specific App Settings, if config settings are shared between slots move them to a key vault. — Juanma Feliu, Apr 13 '21 at 08:38

It is not possible. Essentially when you swap staging slot with production slot deployment, no changes are done at the Cloud Service Level. Only the Virtual IP (VIP) associated with staging slot is swapped with that of the production slot (that's why the process is called VIP Swap).
