This project is an API that should be deployed on Azure with Azure DevOps. The concept of IAC is also part of this project with infrastructure provisioning with Terraform.

nerdctl build -t chrisnt5/weatherapi .

Once the image is built, we can launch it to test the application.

nerdctl run -p 8080:80 chrisnt5/weatherapi:1.0

The application can be reached at the following url: http://localhost:8080/weatherforecast

terraform init
terraform plan

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

You can reach the application live. Here is for instance my QDNS: http://chrisnt5wa.westeurope.azurecontainer.io/weatherforecast

It's like a user account for an application to interact with Azure. We need the following information:

• ARM_CLIENT_ID
• ARM_CLIENT_SECRET
• ARM_TENANT_ID (id of Azure Directory that hosts the client account)
• ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID

You have to register a new application in Azure. Move forward to "Azure Active Directory", "App registrations", "New registration"

See Azure Provider: Authenticating using a Service Principal with a Client Secret

Go then to "Certificates and secrets", "Add a client secret".

Finally, move to Active Directory, IAM. Then, add a role assignment.

You might need to add you own self-hosted agent. See these two tutorials below. Notice that you have more flexibility by using the classic Azure DevOps pipeline wizard.

See Create a self-hosted agent - article one

See Create a self-hosted agent - article two

Go to pipeline -> Library -> Variable Group to add you four ARM variables and their values. Make sure that the variable ARM_CLIENT_SECRET type is set to secret.
