deployment

To deploy your Spring Boot project on Azure, you'll need to make a few configuration changes in your project. Here are the general steps you can follow:

Create an Azure Account: If you don't have an Azure account, sign up for one at https://azure.microsoft.com/. You may be eligible for a free trial.

Choose Azure Services: Determine which Azure services you want to use for your deployment. For a Spring Boot application, you can consider using Azure App Service, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), or Azure Functions, depending on your specific requirements.

• Azure App Service: It provides a fully managed platform for hosting web applications. You can deploy your Spring Boot application as a web app on App Service.
• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS): If you prefer containerization, you can containerize your Spring Boot application using Docker and deploy it to AKS, which is a managed Kubernetes service.
• Azure Functions: If you have specific serverless requirements, you can refactor your Spring Boot application into Azure Functions, which are event-driven serverless functions.

Configure Azure Resources: Set up the necessary Azure resources for your chosen deployment option. For example, if you're using Azure App Service, create an App Service plan and an App Service instance. If you're using AKS, create a Kubernetes cluster. Follow the Azure documentation and guides specific to your chosen services for detailed instructions on resource creation.

Update Project Configuration: Adjust your project configuration to work with Azure. Here are some common considerations:

• Database: If your application requires a database, you can choose Azure SQL Database, Azure Database for MySQL, or other Azure database services. Update your project's database connection settings to use the Azure database service of your choice.
• Configuration: Review your application's configuration files and update any environment-specific settings, such as database connection strings or external service URLs.
• Authentication and Authorization: If your application uses authentication and authorization mechanisms, ensure they are compatible with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) or other identity providers supported by Azure services.
• Logging and Monitoring: Consider integrating your application with Azure Application Insights or other monitoring solutions to gain insights into the application's performance and behavior.

Build and Deploy: Build your Spring Boot project and package it as an executable JAR or a Docker container, depending on your deployment choice. Use Azure CLI, Azure Portal, or Azure DevOps to deploy your project to the respective Azure service you selected in Step 2.

• Azure App Service: Use Azure CLI or Azure Portal to deploy your JAR file or Docker container to App Service.
• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS): Build a Docker image of your application, push it to a container registry (such as Azure Container Registry or Docker Hub), and deploy it to AKS using Kubernetes manifests or Helm charts.
• Azure Functions: Refactor your Spring Boot application into Azure Functions by creating individual functions for different endpoints or operations. Deploy your Functions using Azure CLI, Azure Portal, or Azure DevOps.

Configure DNS and Networking: If necessary, configure DNS and networking settings to map your application's custom domain name to the Azure resources you created. This step may vary depending on the chosen Azure services and your specific requirements.

Remember to consult the Azure documentation and relevant guides for detailed instructions and best practices for deploying your Spring Boot application on Azure.

@ZISHAN KHAN , Just adding to VasimTamboli', as I understand from your issue description you are wanting to provision your existing Spring Boot project on Azure.

You can deploy your Spring Boot application to Azure App Service using Maven or Azure CLI.

To deploy your Spring Boot application using Maven, may can use the Azure Web App Maven plugin. The plugin helps you to set up the App Service operating system, Java version, and Tomcat version.

Whereas, to deploy your Spring Boot application using Azure CLI, you can use the Azure Spring Cloud CLI extension. The extension helps you to create and manage Azure Spring Cloud instances, deploy applications, and monitor the health of your applications.

This tutorial walks through using Docker to containerize your Spring Boot application and deploy your own docker image to a Linux host in the Azure App Service.
