Azure devops deployment via yaml

Create yaml file

1. Create a azureFullDeploymentToK8s.yaml file which contains a section for a service and a section for a deployment separted by ------.
2. You can find a sample for a service description in yaml here .
3. You can find a sample for a deployment description in yaml here.
4. Modify the sections to represent the backend service.
5. Apply the yaml file kubectl apply -f filename. Make sure you delete all resources you want to recreate to avoid confuision. (kubectl delete...)

Include the yaml with your build pipeline

1. If everything worked as expexted, modify the image section to target a placeholder latest or #{Build.BuildNumber}# instead of a specific version. Check in your yaml file into your repo.
2. For automation create a build pipeline in azure devops (use the same you already have for your container builds)
3. Add a build artifact in the pipeline.
4. Save and queue a build.

Deploy the yaml via release pipeline

1. Create a new release pipeline.
2. Make sure that you are carrying over the artifacts from build pipeline. If you need to release a specific version you need to modify the yaml file and replace your token with the current build id.
3. Add a Kubernetes apply task to your pipeline. Make sure that the version of the task is set to 1.*
4. Authorize the service connection - if you to not have enough permissions on your azure subscription use the fallback by creating a Kubernetes Service Connection here 📘!
5. Select command apply and check the use configuration files option to select and apply the yaml file from your build.

6. Trigger the release
