CSR Application - Azure Infrastructure

Overview

This page present the high level design of the reference implementation of the Stacks client-side rendering application.

This page assumes that the core infrastructure has already been provisioned. Instructions and additional information on the core infrastructure can be found here

Both the diagram and resource list below are for a single environment.

Deploying

Pipelines

The following pipelines are currently supported for automating the deployment:

• Azure DevOps

Running Locally

Currently, vars.tf and provider configuration is not automatically updated. Future iterations will include this.

The safest way to run and maintain this locally is to rely on Docker and environment variables as that is the way the pipeline will trigger the executions of Terraform.

Sample commands with example environment vars:

# Navigate to the infra directory
cd ${YOUR_DIRECTORY_PATH}/deploy/azure/app

# Run Amido Terraform Docker container
docker run -v $(pwd):/usr/data --rm -it amidostacks/ci-tf:0.0.4 /bin/bash
