Sitecore Ship Utils

Get External IP Address: Helps you set the Whitelist IP so the hosted agent can deploy and publish to your instance. VSTS will usually change IP addresses on its Hosted Agent and this allows you to whitelist the dynamically changing address. You will need to define a Variable, and thru the use of a tokenization task, it can get inserted into your config. This task merely inserts the external IP address into your desired Variable
