Deploy Azure Resources using DevOps pipeline
DevOps pipeline prerequisite
A “Service Connection” is required for each resource group and environment. This needs to be requested from TC Cloud Team.
Requires Document Service URL from Team Ninja Turtles
Azure ObjectID of the team who has to access the keyvault’s
Deployment DevOps Pipelines | Descriptions |
---|---|
Azure Resources Deployment 1 (Initial) | Will deploy keyvault, appserviceplan for Safsecsur & Eregistry and container registry for Safsecsur |
Azure Resources Deployment 2 (Safsecsur) | Will deploy app service (for work management, LOV and service bus processing service), redisCache, appInsights(for work management, LOV and service bus processing service), postgreSQL, cosmosDB, serviceBus, storageAccount resources for Safsecsur |
Azure Resources Deployment 3 (Eregistry) | Will deploy app service and appinsights (for Vessel Registry internal and external website) resources for Eregistry |
Review bicep deployment files (azuredeploy. *) under project repository folder AzureDeployment
Review
sku
values for resources and update as necessary. The sku values are inside of bicep templates in repository: Infrastructure/AzureDeployment/azuredeploy.*.bicepIn the same bicep files optionally set
deployment
flag to false if the associated resource did not need to be deployed. It is set to true by default.
Configure the variables for each azure resource deployment DevOps pipelines
Edit DevOps pipelines under Pipelines → All → Azure Deployment folder
Configure variables listed for each deployment pipeline in Appendix section 1. For secured variables, need to re-create the value and check “Keep this value secret” checkbox after adding the value
Run the first deployment pipeline Azure Resources Deployment 1 (Initial). This will create container registry, keyvault and app service plan resources
Create a folder by environment name in DevOps pipeline and clone/create DevOps CI/CD pipelines in TK and TNT DevOps project.
Configure new cloned/created DevOps CI/CD pipelines for specified resource groups, container image name and container image tag. Then build the pipelines. Please refer to the Appendix section 2 for the container name, image name and image tag.
Update the deployment pipeline variables and run the remaining two: Azure Resources Deployment 2 (Safsecsur) and Azure Resources Deployment 3 (Eregistry). Verify the resources has been deployed successfully in Azure Portal → Resource Group → Deployments
Add keyvault secrets used for applications from created resources. Please refer to the Appendix section 3 for the required application secrets (Optional: Configure Access Policies in the KeyVault)
Create a Variable group in DevOps → Pipelines → Library. Toggle “Link Secrets” option, select appropriate Azure subscription → KeyVault name, add all the necessary keys and save the variable group
Repeat above step in TNT project
Add workmanagementservice appservice outbound IP addresses to Postgresql server connection security (Optional: Have to do this for documentmanagement service too)
Run Vesselregistry and document service database script
On all appservices, need to turn off & on continuous integration, save it. This should be done in order to create a webhook in container registry
Disable public access to blob on storageaccount
Add/Create a “Diagnostics Settings” to all the appservices on Azure portalTurn-on Identity in document api appservice and add the object id to safsecsur keyvault access policy
Link and save the new variable group in all the DevOps CI/CD pipelines
Make sure to use the correct branch(Develop/Master) on all the DevOps CI/CD pipelines
Migrate LOV Azure Cosmos DB data using Microsoft tool or Console App
Create Application Registration for Vessel Registration internal and external websites. Please refer to below Application Registration section.
Run DevOps CI/CD pipelines of TK and TNT again and verify the applications runs as expected.
Configure the App Configuration Resource [Applicable only for the NCD / PCP Environments] after completing the deployment of Azure Resources Deployment 1 (Initial) and Azure Resources Deployment 2 (Safsecsur).
In the [nprd/prod]-vrappconfig App Configuration / Settings / Identity / System assigned → Copy the Object (principal) ID
In the [environment]eregistrykv / Settings / Keys → Click the Generate/Import button, and use the following configuration:
Options: Generate
Name: [nprd / prod]-vr-appconfiguration-key
Key type: RSA
RSA key size 4096
Enabled: Yes
Under [environment]eregistrykv / Settings / Access policies → Click the Add Access Policy and apply the following settings
Key permissions → Get, Unwrap, Wrap
Select principal → Search for the Object (principal) ID you copied from step a
In the [nprd/prod]-vrappconfig App Configuration / Settings / Encryption → Check the “Customer Managed Key“ and apply the following settings:
Identity: System assigned
Encryption Key: Select from Key Vault
Key Vault:
Subscription: NPRD / PROD
Key vault: [environment]eregistrykv
Key: [nprd / prod]-vr-appconfiguration-key
Ensure you save the encryption settings
Application Registration
Script execution prerequisite
Install the Azure AD Module
Make sure you have Application Developer Role
Make sure you have Local Machine administrative rights
Make sure KeyVault exists and permission to write to it
Make sure you have the ability to configure Enterprise Applications in Azure AD
Make sure you have the ability to grant admin consent in App Registrations
Running the script
The script directory that you were given should contain the following content:
[Optional] Specify the configuration file path or the script will default to the
app-registration-configuration.json
in the same directory as themain.ps1
script file.If the configuration file is not in the same directory, then the absolute path must be provided, and the
isAbsolutePath
switch parameter must be passed to the script
[Optional] You can specify the Tenant/Directory Id, otherwise, the script will use the current directory your user account is logged in under.
Run PowerShell in administrator mode navigate to the script folder, and execute the following commands:
If not providing the Tenant Id to the script:
.\main.ps1 -environment ['nca', 'ncd', 'nct', 'pcp']
If providing the Tenant Id to the script:
.\main.ps1 -environment ['nca', 'ncd', 'nct', 'pcp'] -tenantId [Guid]
Post Script Execution
In the newly created Vessel Registry App Registration → Manage → API permissions → click on the Grant admin consent

App Registration Flowchart
Script reads the contents of the app-registration-configuration.json and loops over each one of them
Script associates owners with the app registration if there are any
Script assigns oauth2 permissions with the app registration if there are any
Script links any required resource permissions to the app registration
Script adds any oauth2 redirect uris to the app registration
Script adds certificates or secrets(currently only secrets) to the app registration
Repeats the process for each app registration
