Wandering Ideas

In this post, we are going to deploy a web app built using Azure DevOps. For this post, I will be using the Azure DevOps project built using an Azure VM in a previous post. We will be using the same Azure VM agent to run the release pipeline and will create a new web app with an Azure SQL server connection to deploy the web app to. Prerequisites   1. An Azure account (which you can create following the instructions on a  previous post ), with an Azure VM, configured as a build agent (which I configured and used in this previous post ). We will use this account to create a new Azure web app resource to deploy the project to. 2. An Azure DevOps organization (which you can create following the instructions on this  previous post ), to create the sample project. 3. An Azure DevOps project with a successfully built build pipeline. We are going to use the PartsUnlimited project we built using an Azure VM in an  earlier post  that meets these criteria. Steps There are ...

Introduction In the previous blog post , we could not complete the Azure DevOps project build with the default agent due to capacity limitations. Therefore, in this post, we are going to create a build agent using Azure VMs and use that agent to successfully run the build pipeline. Prerequisites   1. An Azure account (which you can create following the instructions on a  previous post ), and use it to log in to the Azure portal and create the Azure VM. 2. An Azure DevOps organization (which you can create following the instructions on this  previous post ), to create the sample project. 3. An Azure DevOps project with a build pipeline. We are going to use the PartsUnlimited project we created in an  earlier post  which meets these criteria. Steps There are a lot of steps involved in creating an Azure VM, configuring it as a build agent and running the build pipeline on it. So I will add subtopics between steps to group steps related to a specific subtask. 1. Cre...
