Deprecated Tasks

1. Docker Publish (Deprecated)

   This task performs docker build and (optionally) docker run to deploy your app to a docker host.

   The Docker Integration Extension is finally fully featured, so I'm deprecating this task.

2. Azure Web Deploy (Deprecated)

   This task executes WebDeploy to publish a WebDeploy package to an Azure Web App.

   The Azure RM WebApp Deploy Task now does everything this task does, so I'm deprecating this task.
