Project: CoderCo Assignment 1 - Open Source App Hosted on Azure with Terraform 🚀

Overview

This project mirrors the AWS ECS-based setup, but we will now deploy the open-source app on Azure using Azure Container Apps.

The goal is to package, build, and deploy an application using Terraform and CI/CD pipelines, ensuring best practices in infrastructure as code, security, and scalability.

Key Components:

• Azure Container Registry (ACR) for container images.
• Azure Container Apps (or AKS) to run containers.
• Azure Application Gateway or Front Door for HTTPS routing.
• GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps for CI/CD (your choice).

Task/Assignment 📝

• Create a repository for your work.
• Containerize the app and push it to Azure Container Registry (ACR).
• Use a CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or another) to build, test, and push the container image.
• Deploy the app on Azure using Terraform:
  • Azure Container Apps
• Expose the application via HTTPS using Azure Application Gateway or Azure Front Door.
• Ensure the app is available at:
  • https://tm..co.uk or
  • https://tm.labs..co.uk
• Add screenshots of the live app to the README.md.
• Include an architecture diagram of your infrastructure (Lucidchart, draw.io, or Mermaid).
