Continuous Deployment to Azure Government

3 posts · Jul 2015 – May 2017

What this trail covers

Azure Pipelines provides a robust CI/CD pipeline for Web Apps on Linux, automating the build of container images, pushing them to registries, and deploying to Azure Web Apps. It supports validation in staging environments before production deployment and allows for extension with custom operations like provisioning resources, running scripts, or upgrading databases. This feature integrates with Visual Studio Team Services Git and GitHub repositories, leveraging Dockerfiles for image builds. The Azure portal facilitates configuration and monitoring of these pipelines.

May 2017Use Azure portal to setup Continuous Delivery for Web App On LinuxThis post details the Azure portal's integration with Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) to set up Continuous Delivery for Web Apps on Linux. It outlines the steps for configuring the pipeline, including selecting a container registry, repository, and branch. The process involves creating build and release definitions in VSTS, along with service endpoints for Azure and the container registry. The post also describes the sequence of events after setup, including build triggers, release creation, and deployment to the Web App. It highlights the ability to add staging environments for validation and provides guidance on stopping the CD configuration.
Apr 2017Setup continuous deployment to Azure Government using Visual Studio Team ServicesThis post details how to configure continuous deployment to Azure Government using Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). It outlines the process of creating an Azure App Service in the Azure Government portal, generating a service principal for authentication, and configuring a service endpoint in VSTS with the Azure Resource Manager template. It also describes setting up a release definition using the Azure App Service Deployment template, selecting the CI build artifact, and configuring the 'Deploy Azure App Service' task with the appropriate Azure Government endpoint details. The post notes that VSTS is not directly available in Azure Government clouds and suggests using a private agent for stricter data restrictions.
Jul 2015Continuous Deployment: Dev/Test in Azure and Deploy to Production On-premisesThis post details the process of setting up CI/CD pipelines in Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) and Team Foundation Server (TFS) to deploy applications first to Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) and then to on-premises production machines. It covers linking Azure subscriptions and GitHub repositories via Service Endpoints, deploying build agents, and using the IIS Web App Deployment extension. Key steps include creating build definitions with tasks like NuGet Installer, Visual Studio Build, and Copy and Publish Build Artifacts. It also outlines the creation of release definitions to deploy to Azure Resource Groups using ARM templates and override parameters for different environments, and then to on-premises machines using the same IIS/SQL tasks with connection string overrides.
