The sample code demonstrates how to determine an Azure instance is in Production or Staging slot. Some customers like to use VIP swap to upgrade their roles (has no service down time), and usually they want to perform different operations depend on the instance's current state in Azure Management Portal, for example, disable some events when application is in staging slot. But, as you know, RoleEnvironment class does not provide a property for this. In this sample, we use Windows Azure Management API for achieving goal, use "Get Deployment" service to get deployment ID and compare it with current instance.
