Administrivia: High cognitive load.

Demo Notes

Is what I'm doing secure? Are the correct infrastructure and services being deployed for my application development?

Bsst Practices + Infra As Code + Tools => App Running in Azure with CI-Cd and Monitoring.

Templates:

• Many already exist.
• Guidance available to help build your own.
• "Use This Template" -> Allows templating a Repository to your own GitHub repo, rather than just Clone it.

Pull program from GitHub: azd init. Prompted to then:

• Select a template, including 'empty'.
• A new environment name: An Azure Resource Group, specific to AZD.
• Region: An Azure Region.
• Subscription: Point to an existing subscription.

WSL is supported!

Directory .azure: Stores the environment created with azd init aka 'dot env file'.

Init codebase, provision and deploy in one command: azd up

All of the items that are provisioned upon deployment are displayed on the CLI output.

By default, AZD builds a shared Dashboard with monitoring and logging tools!

CosmoDB can also be created, via a Bicep file.

Get AZD:

• Preview Release Blog Post published in July 2022.
• CLI can be used within VS Code.
• Preview Feature also available in Visual Studio.

Takeaways

This is very similar to AWS Amplify CLI.
