Deploy SonarQube to Azure Kubernetes Service cluster and integrate with Azure DevOps build pipeline

This is the next part of the series on developing and deploying

  • Angular, ASP.NET Core Web API and SQL Server to Azure Kubernetes Service
  • Function Apps using Azure Functions 2.0 runtime

In this article, I am going to share steps needed to deploy SonarQube to Azure Kubernetes Service cluster and integrate with Azure DevOps pipeline to setup code analysis for Angular and ASP.NET Core web apps created in previous parts of this series. The previous articles of this series are

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) – Deploying Angular, ASP.NET Core and SQL Server on Linux

ASP.NET Core 2.1 Web API – Load App Configuration from appsettings.json, Dockerfile environment variables, Azure Key Vault Secrets and Kubernetes ConfigMaps/Secrets

Azure Functions 2.0: Create, debug and deploy to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Azure Functions 2.0: Create Function App from Docker Image (Functions triggered by Cosmos DB, Blob storage, Event Hub and SignalR service bindings)

Add real-time web functionality to Angular application using ASP.NET Core SignalR, Azure SignalR service and Azure SignalR Service bindings for Azure Functions 2.0

The tools used to develop these components are Visual Studio for Mac/VS Code/VS 2017, AKS Dashboard, Docker for Desktop and kubectl.

SonarQube

SonarQube provides the capability to not only show health of an application but also to highlight issues newly introduced. I am going to configure SQL Server as backend database for SonarQube.

Add real-time web functionality to Angular application using ASP.NET Core SignalR, Azure SignalR service and Azure SignalR Service bindings for Azure Functions 2.0

This is the next part of the series on developing and deploying

  • Angular, ASP.NET Core Web API and SQL Server to Azure Kubernetes Service
  • Function Apps using Azure Functions 2.0 runtime

In this article I am going to go through steps needed to add real-time web functionality to Angular App using ASP.NET Core SignalR and Azure SignalR Service bindings for Azure Functions 2.0. The specific topics which this article is going to cover are

  • Add ASP.NET Core SignalR to ASP.NET Core 2.1 Web API
    • ASP.NET Core SignalR
    • ASP.NET Core SignalR scale out using
      • Azure SignalR Service backplane
      • Redis Cache backplane
  • Publish/Subscribe messages to SignalR Hub from Angular App
  • Publish/Subscribe messages to SignalR Hub using Azure SignalR Service bindings for Azure Functions 2.0 from Angular App
  • Build Docker images and deploy to Azure Kubernetes Service

ASP.NET Core 2.1 Web API – Load App Configuration from appsettings.json, Dockerfile environment variables, Azure Key Vault Secrets and Kubernetes ConfigMaps/Secrets

This article is second part of the series on Deploying Angular, ASP.NET Core and SQL Server on Linux to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster. The first part, describes steps needed to deploy these components to AKS. App configuration in ASP.NET Core is based on key-value pairs established by configuration providers. Configuration providers read configuration data into key-value pairs from a variety of configuration sources. In this article I am going to share multiple ways to load App configuration in ASP.net Core Web API

  • Hosting Environment specific appsettings.json
  • Dockerfile Environment Variables
  • Kubernetes
    • Container Environment variables with data from ConfigMap/Secret
    • Populate Volume (Config file) with data stored in a ConfigMap/Secret
  • Azure Key Vault Secrets

The tools used to develop these components are Visual Studio for Mac/VS Code/VS 2017, AKS Dashboard, Docker for Desktop and kubectl. The formatting of code snippets in this article may get distorted (especially yaml), thus please refer to GitHub repository for complete source code for this article.

Azure Dev Spaces – Deploying Angular and ASP.net Core App to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

This article will show the ease of running and deploying containers in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with minimal dev machine setup with Azure Dev Spaces. I am going to reuse sample application components from my previous article on AKS. With Azure Dev Spaces, you can develop on Windows, Mac, or Linux using familiar tools like Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, or the command line. I have chosen Visual Studio Code on Mac.

In this article, I will share the steps needed to deploy sample application I created in Angular and ASP.net Core Web API using Azure Dev Spaces.

At time of writing this article Azure Dev Spaces is in preview and is isn’t available in all regions.

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) – Deploying Angular, ASP.NET Core and SQL Server on Linux

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) makes it simple to deploy a managed Kubernetes cluster in Azure. The sample application for this article is developed in Angular, ASP.net core and SQL Server. I will go through the steps needed to deploy these components to AKS.

The dev tools used to develop these components are Visual Studio for Mac/Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio Code. AKS Dashboard as well as kubectl commands are used to create Kubernetes resources in AKS.

The sample use case is a front end app (Angular) which loads users from Web API (ASP.net Core) and these users are saved in SQL Server DB. The steps needed to deploy these components to AKS are

  • SQL Server on Linux 
    • Create PersistentVolumeClaim
    • Create Secret to specify sa user password
    • Create service for SQL Server
    • Create deployment for SQL Server
  • ASP.net Core Web API 
    • Create ASP.net Core Web API sample application
    • Create a Docker Hub repository
    • Create a docker image 
    • Publish docker image to Docker Hub 
    • Create service for ASP.net Core Web API
    • Create deployment for ASP.net Core Web API 
  • Angular App 
    • Create an Angular App sample application
    • Create a Docker Hub repository
    • Create a docker image 
    • Publish docker image to Docker Hub 
    • Create service for Angular App
    • Create deployment for Angular App
