• GOAL: To create a resource group called “MOD02STOR“ in the “East US” region using the Azure portal
  • Azure Portal → Create a resource → Resource Group → Create → Create
    • Name: MOD02STOR
    • Location: East US

• GOAL: To explore Azure CLI in the Azure Cloud Shell and to use it create a Resource Group called “MOD02APPS“ in the “East US” region

• Browse to “shell.azure.com” → Bash → Create storage account

[code language=”bash”]
az –help
# we have groups and subgroups
# subgroups includes different azure resources, services or components

az group –help
# shows the actions/commands that we can perform on this subgroup

az group create –help
# shows the different arguments, global arguments and examples

az group list –help
az group list

az group create –name MOD02APPS –location eastus
az group list
[/code]

• GOAL: To deploy a randomly named Storage Account to the existing “MOD02STOR“ resource group using an ARM Template

• Azure Portal → Create a resource → Template deployment → Create → Build your own template in the editor → Paste content below → Save → Agree to terms → Purchase
  • Resource Group: Use Existing → “MOD02STOR”

• GOAL: To review the deployment details of the Azure ARM template using the Azure portal
  • Azure Portal → Resource groups → “MOD02STOR” → Settings → Deployments → Click on “Microsoft.Template” deployment → Click “Operation details” next to the deployment

• GOAL: To review an ARM Template that is located on our lab VM (F:\Mod02\Labfiles\Starter\deploy.json)

• Lab VM → This PC → F:\Mod02\Labfiles\Starter\deploy.json → Open with Code (CNTR+ to zoom in)

• GOAL: To deploy an Azure function App (in an App Service Plan) using the ARM template that we reviewed earlier to the existing “MOD02APPS“ resource group using the Azure portal
  • Azure Functions runs in two different modes: Consumption plan and Azure App Service plan. We’ll be deploying using the “Azure App Service plan” mode in this task
  • Three resources will be created
    • A storage account that will be the “web jobs” storage for our function app
    • An app service plan that we will deploy our Azure function app into “Microsoft.Web/serverfarms” 
    • The function app itself (“Microsoft.Web/sites” → Kind: functionapp)
      • Using the plan that we created earlier

• Azure Portal → Create a resource → Template deployment → Create → Build your own template in the editor → Load file → F:\Mod02\Labfiles\Starter\deploy.json → Save → Agree to terms → Purchase
  • Resource Group: Use Existing → “MOD02APPS”
  • Function App Name: Enter something unique (I recommend to add random numbers at the end E.g. dofunc020918)
  • View function app URL after the deployment completes

• GOAL: To review the deployment details of the Azure ARM template using the Azure portal

• Azure Portal → Resource groups → “MOD02APPS” → Settings → Deployments → Click on “Microsoft.Template” deployment → Click “Operation details” next to the deployment

• GOAL: To delete the two resource groups (“MOD02STOR“ and “MOD02APPS“) that were created in this module
  • –no-wait: means don’t wait at the shell for the delete operation to finish. Start the action and allow us to move on
  • –yes: means to not be prompted for confirmation
