Microsoft Azure Deployment Guide

  1. Visit Azure Portal.

  2. Log in with your Microsoft Account [ Create one using LinkedIn or GitHub if you do not have it)

  3. Click on terminal icon on the top right to open Azure Cloud Shell

  4. Intialize your shell environment. [ I prefer going with Bash but I guess Powershell would work just fine too]

  5. Select your subscription [ Google a bit to figure out how to get a free trial subscription for 12 months or a Azure Students Subscription]

  6. Give it some seconds to mount to memory

  7. If you are not logged in already, type az login and provide your credentials

  8. Now lets create a Resource Group for our Container Registry and Web App Service with the name say your-project and select the East US server (This works fine usually but for more details please have a look at the documentation on how to select the location)

     az group create --name your-project-RG --location eastus

  9. Cool! Now we need to build our Container Registry with the name say your-project-RG and standard basic with admin access enabled inside the resource group

     az acr create --name your-project-registry --resource-group your-project-RG --sku basic --admin-enabled true

  10. Let's fetch our source code using git

    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/your-project-repo-name.git

  11. Checking what we got

    ls -aH

  12. Navigating inside our source folder

    cd your-project-name

  13. Send the contents of this directory to Azure Container Registry which uses our Dockerfile to build the image and store it

    az acr build --registry your-project-registry --resource-group your-project-RG --image your-project-name .

  14. Give this a couple of minutes

  15. Create an App Service Plan for the web app

    az appservice plan create --resource-group your-project-RG --name your-project-SP --location eastus --is-linux --sku B1

  16. Now,we shall finally create our web app from the Docker container in the Azure Container Registry

az webapp create --name your-project-name --resource-group your-project-RG --plan your-project-SP --image your-project-registry.azurecr.io/your-project-name:latest

  1. To redeploy the webapp

    az acr build --registry your-project-regitry --resource-group your-project-RG --image your-project-name
