<\/p>\n
1. Create the Azure App Service<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Sign in to Azure Portal and select App Services.<\/p>\n

Click on Create -> Web App<\/p>\n
Follow the steps to complete creating you web app (watch the video for the procedure)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2. Create Azure MySQL Database<\/strong><\/h4>\n
We would have to create an Azure MySQL database. Then we would copy the database credentials and use it to update our application properties. Follow the procedure below:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Search for Azure Databases for MySQL Servers<\/li>\n
- Click on Create<\/li>\n
- Choose Flexible Servers<\/li>\n
- Click on Create an fill the required details<\/li>\n
- Click on Review and Create and complete the process.<\/li>\n
- Once the creation and deployment is complete<\/li>\n
- Copy the name of the server and update the database url in the application.properties file in Spring Boot<\/li>\n
- Connect to the database using this command<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
mysql -h productdb2.mysql.database.azure.com -P 3306 -u rootuser -p\r\n<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
Once connected, run the create database command and create the database specified in your application.properties file<\/p>\n
3. Obtain and setup the Credentials\/Secrets<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Open the Azure terminal and run this command:<\/p>\n
az ad sp create-for-rbac --name \"myApp\" --role contributor \\\r\n --scopes \/subscriptions\/{subscription-id}\/resourceGroups\/{resource-group} \\\r\n --sdk-auth\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
Now we have to copy the json generated in Step 2 above to Github.<\/p>\n
- \n
- From your repo in Github, click on Settings.<\/li>\n
- Select Environments from the left.<\/li>\n
- Click on the environment<\/li>\n
- Click on New Environment secret<\/li>\n
- Enter the name as AZURE_CREDENTIALS<\/li>\n
- In the value field, paste the secret you copied and then save.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
