GitHub Actions for Azure Deployments

GitHub Actions integrates natively with Azure for seamless CI/CD. Push to main, deploy to Azure.

Azure Login Action

name: Deploy to Azure

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Azure Login
        uses: azure/login@v1
        with:
          creds: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}

Setting Up Credentials

# Create service principal
az ad sp create-for-rbac --name "github-actions" --role contributor \
    --scopes /subscriptions/{subscription-id} --sdk-auth

# Output JSON goes to GitHub secret AZURE_CREDENTIALS

Deploy to App Service

- name: Build and deploy
  uses: azure/webapps-deploy@v2
  with:
    app-name: 'my-web-app'
    package: './dist'

Deploy to AKS

- name: Set AKS context
  uses: azure/aks-set-context@v1
  with:
    creds: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}
    cluster-name: myAKSCluster
    resource-group: myResourceGroup

- name: Deploy to AKS
  uses: azure/k8s-deploy@v1
  with:
    manifests: |
      kubernetes/deployment.yaml
      kubernetes/service.yaml
    images: |
      myregistry.azurecr.io/myapp:${{ github.sha }}

Deploy ARM Template

- name: Deploy ARM Template
  uses: azure/arm-deploy@v1
  with:
    subscriptionId: ${{ secrets.AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION }}
    resourceGroupName: myResourceGroup
    template: ./azuredeploy.json
