Important Security Notice (Template Owners, do not remove!)

This template, the application code and configuration it contains, has been built to showcase Microsoft Azure specific services and tools. We strongly advise our customers not to make this code part of their production environments without implementing or enabling additional security features.

Getting Started

You have a few options for getting started with this template. The quickest way to get started is GitHub Codespaces, since it will setup all the tools for you, but you can also set it up locally. You can also use a VS Code dev container

This template uses [MODEL 1] and [MODEL 2] which may not be available in all Azure regions. Check for up-to-date region availability and select a region during deployment accordingly

• We recommend using [SUGGESTED REGION]

GitHub Codespaces

You can run this template virtually by using GitHub Codespaces. The button will open a web-based VS Code instance in your browser:

1. Open the template (this may take several minutes)

2. Open a terminal window

3. Sign into your Azure account:

    azd auth login --use-device-code

4. [any other steps needed for your template]

5. Provision the Azure resources and deploy your code:

   azd up

6. (Add steps to start up the sample app)

VS Code Dev Containers

A related option is VS Code Dev Containers, which will open the project in your local VS Code using the Dev Containers extension:

1. Start Docker Desktop (install it if not already installed)

2. Open the project:

3. In the VS Code window that opens, once the project files show up (this may take several minutes), open a terminal window.

4. Sign into your Azure account:

    azd auth login

5. [any other steps needed for your template]

6. Provision the Azure resources and deploy your code:

   azd up

7. (Add steps to start up the sample app)

8. Configure a CI/CD pipeline:

   azd pipeline config

Region Availability

This template uses [MODEL 1] and [MODEL 2] which may not be available in all Azure regions. Check for up-to-date region availability and select a region during deployment accordingly

• We recommend using [SUGGESTED REGION]

Security

Note

When implementing this template please specify whether the template uses Managed Identity or Key Vault

This template has either Managed Identity or Key Vault built in to eliminate the need for developers to manage these credentials. Applications can use managed identities to obtain Microsoft Entra tokens without having to manage any credentials. Additionally, we have added a GitHub Action tool that scans the infrastructure-as-code files and generates a report containing any detected issues. To ensure best practices in your repo we recommend anyone creating solutions based on our templates ensure that the Github secret scanning setting is enabled in your repos.
