Unfortunately, the azd CLI does not yet have support for deployment slots. I believe this is the relevant issue to star, I'll follow-up on that issue: https://github.com/Azure/azure-dev/issues/2373

Are there any plans to implement this in the future? Our organization needs to know so we can decide whether to switch to ARM instead of Bicep.
