Intro to Azure DevOps Pipeline Hands On Lab.

In this lab you will create a project in GitHub connect it to an Azure Pipeline this pipeline and repo will be used in subsequent labs.

Part 1 Creating a Pipeline

1. Fork the following repo to your personal GitHub account: https://github.com/csps-efpc-daan-students-etudiants/intro-to-azure-devops-handson
2. Create an account with Azure DevOps, you should be able to use the account you created for the 2 day Azure course.
   • https://devops.azure.com
3. Create a new organization give it whatever name you want Note: must be globally unique
4. Create a new Public Project, again give it whatever name you want.
5. Create a new build pipeline, and select GitHub.
6. Authorize Azure DevOps on your GitHub account, follow the instructions for following a GitHub App
   • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repos/github?view=azure-devops#authorize-access-to-your-repositories Instructions can be found here: https://help.github.com/en/articles/fork-a-repo
7. Select an empty yaml, then save and run it. This will automatically save the file and commit it to your master branch, so make sure you pull down that file.

Part 2 Building and publishing artifacts on the Pipeline

1. Modify the yaml file so that it runs docker-compose build
2. Save the following docker images built from the previous command in the publish folder (Hint you’ll have to create that folder first).
   • express-api:latest
   • vue-client:latest
     Instructions can be found here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/save/
3. Publish the tar file you just created to the pipeline using the artifactName images, and the targetPath ./publish Instructions can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/publish-pipeline-artifact?view=azure-devops
4. Move the steps you just created into a job.
   • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/phases?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml
     You can copy the following template

trigger:
- master

jobs: 
  - job: build_containers
    pool:
      vmImage: 'Ubuntu-16.04'
    steps:
    - script: echo "I do nothing!"
    #Build and publish steps go here
  - job: integration_tests
    pool:
      vmImage: 'Ubuntu-16.04'
    dependsOn: 
      - build_containers
    steps:
    - script: echo "Well okay I don't do nothing but whatever!"
    # Download steps go here

Part 3 Downloading Artifacts and loading them on the pipelien

1. Download the artifact you published in the last part from the pipeline using the artifactName
   • Instructions can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/download-pipeline-artifact?view=azure-devops
2. Load the file you just downloaded from the pipeline.
   • Instructions can be found here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/load/
3. Start your application in detached mode docker-compose up -d to ensure everything worked.
