Next Steps

Provision infrastructure and deploy application code

Run azd up to provision your infrastructure and deploy to Azure (or run azd provision then azd deploy to accomplish the tasks separately). Visit the service endpoints listed to see your application up-and-running!

To troubleshoot any issues, see troubleshooting.

Configure environment variables for running services

Configure environment variables for running services by updating settings in main.parameters.json.

Configure CI/CD pipeline

1. Create a workflow pipeline file locally. The following starters are available:
   • Deploy with GitHub Actions
   • Deploy with Azure Pipelines
2. Run azd pipeline config to configure the deployment pipeline to connect securely to Azure.

What was added

Infrastructure configuration

To describe the infrastructure and application, azure.yaml along with Infrastructure as Code files using Bicep were added with the following directory structure:

- azure.yaml     # azd project configuration
- infra/         # Infrastructure as Code (bicep) files
  - main.bicep   # main deployment module
  - app/         # Application resource modules
  - shared/      # Shared resource modules
  - modules/     # Library modules

Each bicep file declares resources to be provisioned. The resources are provisioned when running azd up or azd provision.

• app/web.bicep - Azure Container Apps resources to host the 'web' service.
• app/server.bicep - Azure Container Apps resources to host the 'server' service.
• shared/keyvault.bicep - Azure KeyVault to store secrets.
• shared/monitoring.bicep - Azure Log Analytics workspace and Application Insights to log and store instrumentation logs.
• shared/registry.bicep - Azure Container Registry to store docker images.

Build from source (no Dockerfile)

Build with Buildpacks using Oryx

If your project does not contain a Dockerfile, we will use Buildpacks using Oryx to create an image for the services in azure.yaml and get your containerized app onto Azure.

To produce and run the docker image locally:

1. Run azd package to build the image.
2. Copy the Image Tag shown.
3. Run docker run -it <Image Tag> to run the image locally.

Exposed port

Oryx will automatically set PORT to a default value of 80 (port 8080 for Java). Additionally, it will auto-configure supported web servers such as gunicorn and ASP .NET Core to listen to the target PORT. If your application already listens to the port specified by the PORT variable, the application will work out-of-the-box. Otherwise, you may need to perform one of the steps below:

1. Update your application code or configuration to listen to the port specified by the PORT variable
2. (Alternatively) Search for targetPort in a .bicep file under the infra/app folder, and update the variable to match the port used by the application.

Billing

Visit the Cost Management + Billing page in Azure Portal to track current spend. For more information about how you're billed, and how you can monitor the costs incurred in your Azure subscriptions, visit billing overview.

Troubleshooting

Q: I visited the service endpoint listed, and I'm seeing a blank page, a generic welcome page, or an error page.

A: Your service may have failed to start, or it may be missing some configuration settings. To investigate further:

1. Run azd show. Click on the link under "View in Azure Portal" to open the resource group in Azure Portal.
2. Navigate to the specific Container App service that is failing to deploy.
3. Click on the failing revision under "Revisions with Issues".
4. Review "Status details" for more information about the type of failure.
5. Observe the log outputs from Console log stream and System log stream to identify any errors.
6. If logs are written to disk, use Console in the navigation to connect to a shell within the running container.
