[AspireToAzure azd] Deploy a .NET Aspire app to Azure Container Apps - need some updates and unable to create AZD environment

[balachir]

Issue description

Using the latest Aspire bits (VS 17.9 P1 build), we tried running through the Deploy a .NET Aspire app to Azure Container Apps document. Chose 'Azure Developer CLI' option.

Some updates are needed.

Prerequisites

• We should copy this section from the caching quickstart, which gives both the VS and CLI install options.

Install the Azure Developer CLI

• This section occurs twice in the document. Below 'Prerequisites', it simply says that you'll learn about Azure Developer CLI. And then below 'Create the template solution' section, there is a link to the actual instructions to get azd. I think just the second Azure Developer CLI section is sufficient, or we should combine the two sections into one.

Create the template solution

• For the text Enter a Project Name of AspireSample., the project name should be AspireToAzure instead of AspireSample because that's the name we show in the azd screenshots.

Create a new AZD Environment

• When doing azd init, I don't see the options described in this document. I only got a prompt for the environment name and a bicep file got generated which shows that a new resource group will get created. And that's it. Am I missing something?

Generated main.bicep file

The prerequisites issue(s) and the Install the Azure Developer CLI duplicate are both addressed in dotnet/docs-internal#1255 effort.

@balachir You need a preview version of azd that supports aspire

@davidfowl thanks, I got a preview build from Brady. We'll give it another try.

Hi @balachir - can we close this, I cannot reproduce any of these issues?

Verified that the Aspire + AZD deployment workflow for ACA is working fine with the latest versions, going to close this for now.
