Simulator Deployment and Configuration

[DakotaCondos]

As a DevOps team member,
I want the simulator to be deployable as a continuously running .NET service in Azure,
so that it can integrate with Azure resources and support repeatable project demonstrations.

Acceptance Criteria

• Given the simulator is deployed
  When the application starts
  Then it initializes the configured bot network and begins simulation.

• Given the simulator is running
  When bot objects generate events
  Then the simulator routes those events to the configured Azure Event Hub.

• Given environment-specific configuration is needed
  When the simulator is deployed
  Then settings such as bot count, Event Hub connection information, and secrets are managed outside source code.

• Given code changes are made
  When the CI/CD pipeline runs
  Then the simulator can be built, tested, and deployed through the team’s deployment process.

• Given tests are executed
  When the test suite runs
  Then key behaviors such as order routing, stock validation, stock reservation, queue handling, telemetry generation, and delivery completion are verified.
