[Deploy Apps to an Azure Virtual Machine
Scale Set With a Custom Packer Image]
[Male:] If you unpack the title of this module, you’ll see that we’re building
a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment process
that's built on top of customized Virtual Machines
that will be added to 'scale sets'.
And, the creation of that entire Virtual Machine environment
will be automated through the use of Packer.
So, then we are going to drive beyond setting up
the Virtual Machine hosting environment
and focus on deploying an application
that we’re going to be actively developing, you know,
in this scenario, and committing code to in GitHub.
So, we want to pull those GitHub
bits into our VM environment.
So, as you can see, there are many
different puzzle pieces
that we are going to tackle;
different tools in this module.
And, frankly, each of the tasks
that we are going to demonstrate
could frankly be swapped out for other technologies
or other techniques, but we felt
that these are representative
of the kinds of things that we see our customers
wanting to do as they set up their continuous integration
and deployment pipeline.
So, we’re presenting this
as a training resource
to help you grow more comfortable with the concepts,
the tasks, and the tools that are commonly stitched together
to create this pipeline.
Just be aware that this is merely one way to accomplish
Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment workflow
inside of Azure using VMs.
Yours will likely vary,
and it will depend a lot on your organization specific needs.
Now, hopefully you’ll agree though that this is 45 minutes well spent.
