Getting Started

Prerequisites

For the application to successfully run, you need to install the following packages:

• flask (version 2.2.2)
• pyodbc (version 4.0.39)
• SQLAlchemy (version 2.0.21)
• werkzeug (version 2.2.3)

Usage

To run the application, you simply need to run the app.py script in this repository. Once the application starts you should be able to access it locally at http://127.0.0.1:5000. Here you will be meet with the following two pages:

1. Order List Page: Navigate to the "Order List" page to view all existing orders. Use the pagination controls to navigate between pages.

2. Add New Order Page: Click on the "Add New Order" tab to access the order form. Complete all required fields and ensure that your entries meet the specified criteria.

Technology Stack

• Backend: Flask is used to build the backend of the application, handling routing, data processing, and interactions with the database.

• Frontend: The user interface is designed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to ensure a smooth and intuitive user experience.

• Database: The application employs an Azure SQL Database as its database system to store order-related data.

CI/CD

Assumptions

• You have an Azure account or access to a subscription.
• You have defined a service principal with full access to the relevant subscription.
• kubectl is installed and working on a dev host, e.g. local computer.

Containerisation (diagram, precursor to #4, 5)

The web app is packaged as a docker image, available in my personal public Docker Hub repo: asoundmove/aicore-devopsproject-webapp:latest.

Packaging can be done manually using Dockerfile and docker build -t aicore-devopsproject-webapp .. See the pipeline section below for automation of this process.

Sub-sections:

• IaC, Infrastructure as Code (diagram, #1)
• WebApp: deployment, access, test and validation (diagram, #2)
• Azure Pipeline build and deployment (diagram, #4, 5, 6)
• Cluster monitoring (diagram, #7)
• Key Vault integration (diagram, #3)
