Azure-based hybrid application

In order to provide access to healthcare for all people, a rapidly expanding healthcare organisation decided to create a Azure-based hybrid application. There were four distinct sister apps in this multi-tenant application for patients, physicians, labs, and pharmacies. In addition to asking for home prescription delivery and mobile lab testing, patients may communicate with doctors via the app. Patients could get care whenever they needed it thanks to a PaaS application we created that operated on Azure.

Nuvento's customer required a reliable, long-lasting, and reasonably priced solution that could scale as their subscriber base grew. A variety of difficulties plague the hybrid multiuser healthcare application.

Because there are four distinct sister programmes and user personas, all processes must be synchronised and error-free.

Because of the sensitivity of the application, it was vital to assure quick reaction times, availability, and processes.

On all platforms, the app must work well and be responsive.

High security was required for crucial components like payments and sensitive data.

Solution

Nuvento developed the best solution after carefully evaluating the client's objectives and problems. We chose Azure cloud hosting since one of the most important factors was application availability. We could handle the application's development, testing, deployment, management, and upgrades using Azure PaaS while keeping data control.

With the help of Cloud Atlas and Mongo Db, Azure PaaS services including Azure App Service, Azure Functions, and Azure DevOps were connected. Since various user categories will sign in to the programme using various devices, guaranteeing responsiveness, we recommended a hybrid application. While, for instance, physicians can be using a PC, patients might be using a mobile device.

Azure app service

Using Azure App Service, we can host the application reasonably and without having to worry about the risks associated with running the server, such as security, load balancing, autoscaling, and DevOps. Azure applications services may be restarted in about 15 seconds, as opposed to the 15 minutes it can take to set up or restart a server.

Azure functions

With Azure functions, you can select from a range of automatic deployment choices, tailor the pricing based on usage, and obtain app analytics. The application relies on Azure Function to manage time-triggering functions and processes that are essential to its efficient operation.

Azure DevOps

A variety of services are available through Azure DevOps and may be used as needed. These services include Azure Artifacts, Boards, Pipelines, Repos, and Test Plans. Without disrupting the services, we may build, test, and deploy artefacts using agile development methods, workflows, and CI/CD pipelines.

Cloud Storage

Storage must be secure, scalable, and affordably priced to guarantee availability. Because of its rapid performance, adaptable architecture, and sophisticated querying and analytics tools, we chose the cloud database Mongo Db Atlas. We registered for an Azure Blob storage account to store additional data, including code, logs, pdf reports, and other files.

The Outcomes

Cost savings;

Thanks to the Azure app service, the overall operating costs were reduced by 35%.

Faster time to market;

Our development, testing, and deployment processes are now more agile due to Azure DevOps.

Near-zero downtime;

With the help of CI/CD procedures, downtime has been reduced to 2–5 seconds, ensuring the availability of mission-critical applications.

Lesser Complexity;

The methods for connecting to applications have been streamlined by Azure apps.

Auto scalability;

When the number of consumers utilising Azure applications services varies, scaling up or down improves performance.

Multiplatform support;

Because of Azure's capabilities, the app runs at maximum efficiency and loads quickly on all devices.

Improved efficiency;

manages process workflow to ensure that all clients receive high-quality service

Setting up Azure DevOps CI/CD for a .NET Core 3.1 Web App hosted in Azure App Service for Linux

Following up on my post last week on moving from App Service on Windows to App Service on Linux, I wanted to make sure I had a clean CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline for all my sites. I'm using Azure DevOps because it's basically free. You get 1800 build minutes a month FREE and I'm not even close to using it with three occasionally-updated sites building on it.

Last Post: I updated one of my websites from ASP.NET Core 2.2 to the latest LTS (Long Term Support) version of ASP.NET Core 3.1 this week. I want to do the same with my podcast site AND move it to Linux at the same time. Azure App Service for Linux has some very good pricing and allowed me to move over to a Premium v2 plan from Standard which gives me double the memory at 35% off.

Setting up on Azure DevOps is easy and just like signing up for Azure you'll use your Microsoft ID. Mine is my gmail/gsuite, in fact. You can also login with GitHub creds. It's also nice if your project makes NuGet packages as there's an integrated NuGet Server that others can consume libraries from downstream before (if) you publish them publicly.

I set up one of my sites with Azure DevOps a while back in about an hour using their visual drag and drop Pipeline system which looked like this:

There's some controversy as some folks REALLY like the "classic" pipeline while others like the YAML (Yet Another Markup Language, IMHO) style. YAML doesn't have all the features of the original pipeline yet, but it's close. It's primary advantage is that the pipeline definition exists as a single .YAML file and can be checked-in with your source code. That way someone (you, whomever) could import your GitHub or DevOps Git repository and it includes everything it needs to build and optionally deploy the app.

The Azure DevOps team is one of the most organized and transparent teams with a published roadmap that's super detailed and they announce their sprint numbers in the app itself as it's updated which is pretty cool.

When YAML includes a nice visual interface on top of it, it'll be time for everyone to jump but regardless I wanted to make my sites more self-contained. I may try using GitHub Actions at some point and comparing them as well.

Migrating from Classic Pipelines to YAML Pipelines

If you have one, you can go to an existing pipeline in DevOps and click View YAML and get some YAML that will get you most of the way there but often includes some missing context or variables. The resulting YAML in my opinion isn't going to be as clean as what you can do from scratch, but it's worth looking at.

In decided to disable/pause my original pipeline and make a new one in parallel. Then I opened them side by side and recreated it. This let me learn more and the result ended up cleaner than I'd expected.

The YAML editor has a half-assed (sorry) visual designer on the right that basically has Tasks that will write a little chunk of YAML for you, but:

Once it's placed you're on your own

You can't edit it or modify it visually. It's text now.

If your cursor has the insert point in the wrong place it'll mess up your YAML

It's not smart

But it does provide a catalog of options and it does jumpstart things. Here's my YAML to build and publish a zip file (artifact) of my podcast site. Note that my podcast site is three projects, the site, a utility library, and some tests. I found these docs useful for building ASP.NET Core apps.

You'll see it triggers builds on the main branch. "Main" is the name of my primary GitHub branch. Yours likely differs.

It uses Ubuntu to do the build and it builds in Release mode. II

I install the .NET 3.1.x SDK for building my app, and I build it, then run the tests based on a globbing *tests pattern.

I do a self-contained publish using -r linux-x64 because I know my target App Service is Linux (it's cheaper) and it goes to the ArtifactStagingDirectory and I name it "hanselminutes." At this point it's a zip file in a folder in the sky.

Here it is:

trigger: - main pool: vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest' variables: buildConfiguration: 'Release' steps: - task: UseDotNet@2 displayName: ".NET Core 3.1.x" inputs: version: '3.1.x' packageType: sdk - task: UseDotNet@2 inputs: version: '3.1.x' - script: dotnet build --configuration $(buildConfiguration) displayName: 'dotnet build $(buildConfiguration)' - task: DotNetCoreCLI@2 displayName: "Test" inputs: command: test projects: '**/*tests/*.csproj' arguments: '--configuration $(buildConfiguration)' - task: DotNetCoreCLI@2 displayName: "Publish" inputs: command: 'publish' publishWebProjects: true arguments: '-r linux-x64 --configuration $(BuildConfiguration) --output $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)' zipAfterPublish: true - task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1 displayName: "Upload Artifacts" inputs: pathtoPublish: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)' artifactName: 'hanselminutes'

Next I move to the release pipeline. Now, you can also do the actual Azure Publish to a Web App/App Service from a YAML Build Pipeline. I suppose that's fine if your site/project is simple. I wanted to have dev/test/staging so I have a separate Release Pipeline.

The Release Pipelines system in Azure DevOps can pull an "Artifact" from anywhere - GitHub, DevOps itself natch, Jenkins, Docker Hub, whatever. I set mine up with a Continuous Deployment Trigger that makes a new release every time a build is available. I could also do Releases manually, with specific tags, scheduled, or gated if I'd liked.

Mine is super easy since it's just a website. It's got a single task in the Release Pipeline that does an Azure App Service Deploy. I can also deploy to a slot like Staging, then check it out, and then swap to Production later.

There's nice integration between Azure DevOps and the Azure Portal so I can see within Azure in the Deployment Center of my App Service that my deployments are working:

I've found this all to be a good use of my staycation and even though I'm just a one-person company I've been able to get a very nice automated build system set up at very low cost (GitHub free account for a private repo, 1800 free Azure DevOps minutes, and an App Service for Linux plan) A basic starts at $13 with 1.75Gb of RAM but I'm planning on moving all my sites over to a single big P1v2 with 3.5G of RAM and an SSD for around $80 a month. That should get all of my ~20 sites under one roof for a price/perf I can handle.

Microsoft splits VSTS five ways to build new Azure DevOps platform

Enlarge / Azure DevOps Pipeline. (credit: Microsoft)

Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS), Microsoft's application lifecycle management system, is to undergo a major shake-up and rebranding. Instead of a single Visual Studio-branded service, it's being split into five separate Azure-branded services, under the banner Azure DevOps.

The five components:

Azure Pipelines, a continuous integration, testing, and deployment system that can connect to any Git repository

Azure Boards, a work tracking system with Kanban boards, dashboards, reporting

Azure Artifacts, a hosting facility for Maven, npm, and NuGet packages

Azure Repos, a cloud-hosted private Git repository service

Azure Test Plans, for managing tests and capturing data about defects.

VSTS has been broken up in this way to further Microsoft's ambition of making its developer tooling useful to any development process and workflow, regardless of language or platform. The division into individual components should make it easier for developers to adopt portions of the Azure DevOps platform, without requiring them to go "all in" on VSTS. The reduced scope of each component means that it's cheaper than the VSTS pricing, making incremental adoption more palatable. For example, a Pipelines process could build and test a Node.js service from a GitHub repository and then deploy to a container on Amazon's AWS cloud, without requiring use of any of the other Azure DevOps components.

Java and Microsoft DevOps

Scope

I've rencently been spending a bit of time using Microsoft's DevOps tool suite, formally Team Foundation Serveer (TFS). In brief, I'm impressed. They (Microsoft) has been able to create a development environment that DOES NOT require me to have five differnt tools, five different licensing agreements and renewal dates, etc.

Here are some tips I've learned along the way, and hopefully they will help you.

Components

I am using Boards, Repos, Pipelines and Artifacts with very specific intentions. As an organization owner, I have all of my products setup, each having their own permissions to backlogs and repositories. This is extremely important in the Enterprise as certian regulatory controls insist of behaviors of isolation. DevOps provides this in spades (more later). For now understand that Having a board, my git repos and my pipelines in one place is awesome, and being able to create a dashboard across all of those products... outstanding. Yes, you can do that with those five other tools, so long as you want to deal with staffing for those tools and building the expertise.

Boards

I was looking for a replacement for Jira, not because Jira is bad, but because the pricing after ten users is insane. If I have a dynamic workforce, why should I have to continually have that type of runtime cost. SAS to the rescue on this one.

The best thing for me about boards is this: I can customize each organization a little bit differently while still using an enterprise tagging schema. This really helps mre report across orgs with a new level of comfort.

Repositories

This is simple, a single place to keep my repos and my agile / scrum work, and when I check things in, the stories are linked and I don't have to manage multiple service hooks with expiring keys every thirty to ninty days.

Pilelines and Artifacts

The level of integration with third-party tools is great, even competitor cloud vendors like GCP and that Book Store company. Seriously though, having all of the permissions tied to my active directory day one and custome release worflows is great.

Timing

It's taken a little over two weeks and some trial and error to get to this stage but I thought it was worth sharing, so here goes:

A Tale of two builds

Methodology Matters

You may not be a fan of SNAPSHOTS, I personally am. I don't like burning revision numbers just because my CI pipeline told me to. Here, we'll break up the CI and the CD pipelines a bit, primarily because most companies really don't do CD well, and depending on the regulations may have pretty big process to adhere too.

You may branch you code, in this example all ideals flow branchs PRing to master, master always running a CI build, and a CD build being kicked off from a tag or revision.

Maven

A sigificant amount of work goes into create a build worthy POM file, with Azure, you really need to make sure you're using some of the latest plugins. Here's the most important snippet:

... <build> <plugins> ... <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <argLine>${argLine} -Xmx256m</argLine> <forkCount>2</forkCount> <reuseForks>true</reuseForks> <useSystemClassLoader>false</useSystemClassLoader> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <forkCount>2</forkCount> <reuseForks>true</reuseForks> <argLine>${argLine} -Xmx256m ${coverageAgent}</argLine> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <detail>true</detail> <autoVersionSubmodules>true</autoVersionSubmodules> <updateDependencies>true</updateDependencies> <scmReleaseCommitComment>[skip ci] prepare release @{releaseLabel}</scmReleaseCommitComment> <releaseProfiles>release</releaseProfiles> </configuration> </plugin> ... </plugins> </build> <profiles> <profile> <id>default</id> <activation><activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault></activation> <properties> <!-- This is the only place I manage versions to SNAPSHOT --> </properties> </profile> <profile> <id>release</id> <activation><activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault></activation> <properties> <!-- This is the only place I manage versions to RELEASE Versions may be parameterized --> </properties> </profile> </profiles> ...

NOTE: the Maven release plugin is at the latest 3.x version, and the "[skip ci]" is in the scmReleaseComment tag. This MUST be in place in order to avoid duplicate builds.

CI

The CI pipeline is pretty simple, you can put the code coverage reports in the maven task, but that won't work for multimodule builds. This CI file assumes that the pom.xml file is labled as a SNAPSHOT, and will continually deploy to the artifacts repository specified in the secure "settings.xml" file. It's that simple.

. Tell the build system what type of server to use . Trigger a build whenever a change to maser is made, unless it's to docs or pipelines. . Checkout the reposository . Setup Git so any pipeline commits has a automated tag. . Run maven with a: "clean, deploy" so it will be pushed to artifacts . By the way, also record my test coverage and all those test cases.

pool: vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest' trigger: batch: true branches: include: - master paths: exclude: - docs/* - README.md - README.adoc - azure-pipeline.yml - azure-pipeline-ci.yml steps: - checkout: self persistCredentials: true - task: DownloadSecureFile@1 name: mavenSettings displayName: 'Setup: Maven' inputs: secureFile: 'settings.xml' - task: Bash@3 displayName: 'Setup: Git' inputs: targetType: 'inline' script: | git config --global user.email "some_really_cool_cat@whereever.com" git config --global user.name "DevOps Build Pipeline" git checkout $(Build.SourceBranchName) - task: Maven@3 displayName: 'Maven: Clean, Deploy' inputs: publishJUnitResults: true testResultsFiles: '**/TEST-*.xml' pmdRunAnalysis: true findBugsRunAnalysis: true jdkVersionOption: 1.8 javaHomeOption: 'JDKVersion' mavenVersionOption: 'Default' mavenPomFile: 'pom.xml' goals: 'clean deploy' options: '-s $(mavenSettings.secureFilePath)' - task: PublishCodeCoverageResults@1 displayName: 'Publish' inputs: codeCoverageTool: 'JaCoCo' summaryFileLocation: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/target/site/jacoco/jacoco.xml' pathToSources: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/src/main/java' additionalCodeCoverageFiles: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/*/jacoco.exec'

CD

CD is a little different, I run those as manual pipelines. No, I am not running the current DEPLOY functionality in the DevOps Suite. I haven't figured out how to make that work elegently with the auto revisions and release life-cycle of the Maven Release Plugin.

pool: vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest' trigger: none steps: - checkout: self persistCredentials: true - task: DownloadSecureFile@1 name: mavenSettings displayName: 'Setup: Maven' inputs: secureFile: 'settings.xml' - task: Bash@3 displayName: 'Setup: Git' inputs: targetType: 'inline' script: | # Write your commands here git config --global user.email "some_really_cool_cat@whereever.com" git config --global user.name "DevOps Build Pipeline" git checkout $(Build.SourceBranchName) - task: Maven@3 displayName: 'Maven: Release' inputs: publishJUnitResults: fale jdkVersionOption: 1.8 javaHomeOption: 'JDKVersion' mavenVersionOption: 'Default' mavenPomFile: 'pom.xml' goals: 'release:prepare release:perform' options: '-s $(mavenSettings.secureFilePath) -B -Dusername=$(username) -Dpassword=$(pwd)'

This almost identical workflow requires the addition of a username and pwd parameter that are managed secrets within the build pipeline and point to expiring tokens rather than user account information.

Conclusion

Yeah, that's really it. Two pipelines, with minimal work and I have a CI/CD pipeline that can exectute to any cloud environment with an amazingly low TCO. The Microsoft team is continuing to fill a gap that other cloud providers haven't come close to filling. Microsoft has been up to some great work, and I hope this trend continues as they are making developers lives better and more to the point helping reduce the TCO of project infrastructure.
