Note that this example also makes usage of Azure Devops, a free service alongside Azure for handling deployment. It is recommended that when deploying to Azure you make usage of the Devops Pipelines and Releases as this will ensure best practices for any future changes to your deployment.

Create your Build Pipeline

\n

First from dev.azure.com/organization you'll want to create a new project.

Create a pipeline, and follow the steps to connect your repository, this will change if this is your first connection between Github and Azure Devops requiring authentication.

Secure Files

\nAs the settings.xml contains login information, and the license file is also meant to be obscured you'll notice that both are secure files. See [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/library/secure-files?view=azure-devops) for a guide on how to add secure files to Azure Devops.\n
\n

Once you have run and there are no issues with your pipeline compiling and moving the various files to the correct artifact directory.

\n

Create your Release Pipeline

\n

Now from the left menu we'll move over to Pipelines > Releases, from here we'll create a release pipeline selecting the 'Deploy a Java app to Azure App Service'

On the right you will be required to connect to your Azure Subscription and the App Service you wish to deploy too. This may require further authentication see Azure's Documentation for more.

\n

The main things you'll need to do are to make sure the name of the folder corresponds to the one we copied above 'drop', the Runtime Stack is set to Java 8, and finally that we refer to the startup.sh script which should be placed in your main directory. The contents of that script are fairly simple

\n

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

\n
#!/bin/bash\n\n# Move to artifact directory\ncd /home/site/wwwroot\n\njava -jar simudyne-demos-1.0-SNAPSHOT-allinone.jar
\n

After that simply create your first release and deploy. Once successful you should be able to go to the address of your app service (via portal.azure.com) and view your deployment as if it was local.
