DevOps Technical Challenge – Azure Deployment

🎯 Objective

Set up a development environment in Azure and deploy two containerized backend applications (one in Python, one in Spring Boot), making both publicly accessible and exposing their respective Swagger UIs.

---

🔧 Task Description

• Provision a complete DEV environment in Azure.
• Build Docker images for both Python link Spring Boot link backends.
• Deploy both applications to Azure.
• Implement a CI/CD pipeline that fully automates the build and deployment process.
• Ensure that both applications are publicly accessible and that their Swagger documentation is reachable via browser.

---

📌 Requirements

• Infrastructure should be provisioned using Infrastructure-as-Code.
• The build and deployment process must be automated.
• Both services should be exposed via public URLs.
• Swagger UIs must be accessible for both services.

---

📄 Deliverables

Please provide:

• A brief documentation of your architecture and deployment setup (via text, diagram, or code comments)
• Public URLs of both applications
• Optionally: known limitations or potential improvements

---

⏱ Timeframe

• Estimated effort: 3–5 hours

🚀 Good luck!

Azure DevOps Terraform Deployment

This project deploys a cloud infrastructure on Azure using Terraform and GitHub Actions CI/CD.

🔥 Components:

• Resource Group (dev-rg)
• Key Vault (dev-kv-WcuDo123) — stores secrets
• Azure Container Registry (devacr12345)
• App Service Plan (Linux B1)
• Two Linux Web Apps:
  • Python app: Docker image from ACR
  • Spring Boot app: Docker image from ACR
• RBAC Assignments:
  • Managed identity → AcrPull
  • Managed identity → Key Vault access

🛠️ Workflow:

• Uses GitHub Actions to automate:
  • Terraform init
  • Terraform validate
  • Terraform plan
  • Terraform apply
• Fetches secrets dynamically from Azure Key Vault
• No hardcoded credentials/secrets in code

🚀 Usage:

1. Clone repo
2. Configure AZURE_CREDENTIALS secret in GitHub
3. Push to main branch → CI/CD pipeline will deploy infra

📎 Outputs:

Terraform will print URLs of deployed apps after terraform apply:

Outputs:

python_app_url = <python app URL>
spring_app_url = <spring app URL>
