Container APP .NET Core MVC Project

This project is a Dockerized ASP.NET Core MVC application deployed to Azure using Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). The pipeline is set up with the classic editor for CI and YAML for CD.

Project Overview

• Technologies Used: ASP.NET8 Core MVC, Docker, Azure, Azure Container Registry (ACR), Azure DevOps
• Deployment Targets: Development and Production staging environments on Azure
• Continuous Integration (CI) is configured with the classic editor in Azure DevOps.
• Continuous Deployment (CD) uses a YAML pipeline.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker: Ensure Docker is installed and running locally.
• Azure Account: You’ll need an Azure account to use Azure Container Registry and Azure Web App for Containers.
• Azure DevOps Account: Set up an organization and project in Azure DevOps.

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository:

   bash
   git clone https://github.com/your-repo-url.git
   cd your-repo
   
   
   

2. Configure Environment Variables:

Set up required environment variables for accessing Azure resources, such as:

• AZURE_ACR_NAME: Azure Container Registry name.
• AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION: Azure subscription ID.
• DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME: Docker image name for the application.

Dockerizing the Application

1. Create Dockerfile: The Dockerfile is located in the containerapp folder and configures the application for deployment in Docker.
2. Build Docker Image:

   docker build -t your-image-name .
   
   
   

3. Run Docker Container Locally:

   docker run -p 8080:80 your-image-name
   
   
   
   
   

Setting Up CI/CD Pipelines

Continuous Integration (CI)

1. CI Pipeline (Classic Editor):

Set up the CI pipeline using the classic editor in Azure DevOps to build and push the Docker image to Azure Container Registry.

2. Steps for CI:

• Build the Docker Image: Configure the build task to create the Docker image.
• Push to ACR: Push the image to Azure Container Registry.

Continuous Deployment (CD)

Sample YAML for CD:

```
    trigger:
    - main
    pool: Default
    steps:
    - task: AzureWebAppContainer@1
    inputs:
        azureSubscription: '$(Azure subscription)'
        appName: '$(app name)'
        deployToSlotOrASE: true
        resourceGroupName: '$(resourceGroupName)'
        slotName: 'production'
        containers: '$(image name)'
