Visual Studio Team Services CI/CD Build/Release Pipelines with Azure Container Services (AKS) Workshop

Overview

This workshop will guide you through building Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) pipelines with Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) for use with Azure Container Service (AKS - Managed Kubernetes Service).

The labs are based upon a node.js application that allows for voting on the Justice League Superheroes. Data is stored in MongoDB backend. This builds upon concepts from Microsoft Intelligent Cloud Blackbelt Team :: Hackfest: Labs 1-3.

The general workflow/result will be as follows:

  • Push code to source control (Git hosted in VSTS)
  • Trigger a continuous integration (CI) build pipeline when project code is updated via Git
  • Package app code into a container image (Docker Image)
  • Push docker image to a central container registry (Azure Container Registry) upon a successful build
  • Trigger a continuous deployment (CD) release pipeline upon a successful build
  • Deploy container image to target deployment environment/platform (Azure Container Services aka. ACS or AKS) upon successful a release
  • Rinse and repeat upon each code update via Git
  • Profit

workflow

Note: These labs are designed to run on a Linux CentOS VM running in Azure (jumpbox) along with Azure Cloud Shell. They can potentially be run locally on a Mac or Windows, but the instructions are not written towards that experience. ie - "You're on your own."

Note: Since we are working on a jumpbox, note that Copy and Paste are a bit different when working in the terminal. You can use Shift+Ctrl+C for Copy and Shift+Ctrl+V for Paste when working in the terminal. Outside of the terminal Copy and Paste behaves as expected using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.
