In this article, we’re going to learn how to Deploying .

Net Microservices
into Kubernetes, and moving deployments to the cloud Azure Kubernetes Services
(AKS) with using Azure Container Registry (ACR) and last section is we will learn how
to Automating Deployments with Azure DevOps and GitHub.

Deploying .Net Microservices to Azure Kubernetes Services(AKS) and Automating


with Azure DevOps

In this article, we’re going to learn how to Deploying .Net Microservices


into Kubernetes, and moving deployments to the cloud Azure Kubernetes Services
(AKS) with using Azure Container Registry (ACR) and last section is we will learn how
to Automating Deployments with Azure DevOps and GitHub.

The image above, you can find the steps of our article structure.
We’re going to containerize our microservices on docker environment, and push these
images to the DockerHub and deploy microservices on Kubernetes. As the same
setup, we are going to shifting to the cloud for deploying Azure Kubernetes Services
(AKS) with pushing images to Azure Container Registry (ACR).

Also we will cover additional topics that;

• Docker compose microservices

• K8s components

• Zero-downtime deployments

• Using azure resources like ACR, AKS


• Automate whole deployment process with writing custom pipelines with Azure
DevOps and so on..

Step by Step Development w/ Course

I have just published a new course — Deploying .Net Microservices with K8s, AKS
and Azure DevOps.

In this course, we’re going to learn how to Deploying .Net


Microservices into Kubernetes, and moving deployments to the cloud Azure
kubernetes services (AKS) with using Azure Container Registry(ACR) and last section
is we will learn how to Automating Deployments with CI/CD pipeline of Azure
DevOps and GitHub.

Overall Picture

See the overall picture. You can see that we will have 3 microservices which we are
going to develop and deploy together.
Shopping MVC Client Application

First of all, we are going to develop Shopping MVC Client Application For Consuming Api
Resource which will be the Shopping.Client Asp.Net MVC Web Project. But we will start
with developing this project as a standalone Web application which includes own data
inside it. And we will add container support with DockerFile, push docker images to
Docker hub and see the deployment options like “Azure Web App for Container”
resources for 1 web application.

Shopping API Application

After that we are going to develop Shopping.API Microservice with MongoDb and
Compose All Docker Containers.
This API project will have Products data and performs CRUD operations with exposing
api methods for consuming from Shopping Client project.
We will containerize API application with creating dockerfile and push images to Azure
Container Registry.

Mongo Db

Our API project will manage product records stored in a no-sql mongodb database as
described in the picture.
we will pull mongodb docker image from docker hub and create connection with our
API project.
At the end of the section, we will have 3 microservices whichs are Shopping.Client —
Shopping.API — MongoDb microservices.

As you can see that, we have

• Created docker images,

• Compose docker containers and tested them,

• Deploy these docker container images on local Kubernetes clusters,

• Push our image to ACR,

• Shifting deployment to the cloud Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS),

• Update microservices with zero-downtime deployments.

Deploy to Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) through CI/CD Azure Pipelines

And the last step, we are focusing on automation deployments with creating CI/CD
pipelines on Azure Devops tool. We will develop separate microservices deployment
pipeline yamls with using Azure Pipelines.
When we push code to Github, microservices pipeline triggers, build docker images
and push the ACR, deploy to Azure Kubernetes services with zero-downtime
deployments.

By the end of this articles, you’ll learn how to deploy your multi-container microservices
applications with automating all deployment process seperately.
Background

This is the introduction of the series. This will be the series of articles. You can follow the
series with below links.

• Git on Local and Github Account for granting our devops pipelines triggering
when push the code.

• Azure Free Subscription for creating all azure resources like ACR, Web app for
Containers, AKS and so on..

• Azure Devops Account for ci/cd devops pipelines.

Basics — What is Docker and Container ?

Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. Docker
enables you to separate your applications from your infrastructure so you can deliver
software quickly.
Advantages of Docker’s methodologies for shipping, testing, and deploying code
quickly, you can significantly reduce the delay between writing code and running it in
production. Docker provides for automating the deployment of applications as
portable, self-sufficient containers that can run on the cloud or on-premises. Docker
containers can run anywhere, in your local computer to the cloud. Docker image
containers can run natively on Linux and Windows.

Docker Container

A container is a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its
dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing
environment to another. A Docker container image is a lightweight,
standalone, executable package of software that includes everything needed to run an
application.

Docker containers, images, and registries

When using Docker, a developer develops an application and packages it with its
dependencies into a container image. An image is a static representation of the
application with its configuration and dependencies.
In order to run the application, the application’s image is instantiated to create a
container, which will be running on the Docker host.
Containers can be tested in a development local machines.

As you can see the images above, how docker components related each other.
Developer creates container in local and push the images the Docker Registry.
Or its possible that developer download existing image from registry and create
container from image in local environment.

Developers should store images in a registry, which is a library of images and is needed
when deploying to production orchestrators. Docker images are stores a public registry
via Docker Hub; other vendors provide registries for different collections of images,
including Azure Container Registry.
Alternatively, enterprises can have a private registry on-premises for their own Docker
images.
