CI/CD

For Started Kit prepared CI/CD Azure pipelines yaml configurations.

  • CI: azure-pipelines.ci.yml;
  • CD: azure-pipelines.cd.yml.

CI and CD runs on the ubuntu-latest image.

CI​

Features​

  • Restore frontend and backend packages;
  • Build and test projects.

Triggers​

The CI pipeline triggers when:

  • You create or update PR for master;
  • You push into master.

CD​

Features​

  • Uses dotnet sdk version depending on your global.json;
  • Restores frontend and backend packages;
  • Create production builds;
  • Migrates database;
  • Deploy services to your Azure App Services.
Prepare environment before deploy.
  • The CD does NOT create required resources for deploy such as: database, app services, service bus etc. Also, it does NOT create distributed cache! So you need prepare environment before running CD pipeline.
  • To deploy services into Azure App Services you should create Azure Resource Manager service connections and paste their names into azure-pipelines.cd.yml for azureApiSubscription and for azureIdentitySubscription.
  • For migrations, you should create in the pipeline secret variable ConnectionStrings__Default for connection string to the database with migrations tables.

Triggers​

The CD pipeline triggers when the CI successfully completed on the master branch. To do this you must create the CI pipeline named starterkit-CI or modify it in the azure-pipelines.cd.yml file. For more info see Configure pipeline resource triggers.
