# Cloud Infrastructure Management & Operations Project
3+
24
Welcome to the repository for my Cloud Infrastructure Management and Operations project, focused on deploying a Spring Boot-based Finance application using Azure services by Microsoft with Docker and GitHub Actions to Build the project.

This Project, built as a part of my Devops and cloud-native learning, showcases practical end-to-end in Dockerization, CI/CD pipelines, container registries and deploying into a production-grade environment using Azure Container Instance (ACI) and Azure Container Registry (ACR). In this project I added a feature of custom domain (via GoDaddy) mapped to the live Azure-hosted Container.

Note: If the URL shows this type of error

> Note: If the URL shows an error like the image below, open it in **Incognito Mode**. The app is served on HTTP only. Modern browsers may automatically redirect to HTTPS, which will fail without a certificate.

Than use incognito mode or private Tab because this webserver only works with `HTTP` not `Https` but most of the browsers redirect it on `HTTPS` service even with copy paste URL. To allocate my webserver of `HTTPS` also I have to buy the SSL Certificate. Or by using Azure Front Door Service I have to pay a lot to use that.

Your app is now live at: 🔗 http://project.aaravdevops.xyz
149-
150-
But remember use private window to open and check after pasting the URL as well it should be `HTTP` not `HTTPS`.

Your app is live at: 🔗 http://project.aaravdevops.xyz

Use **HTTP**, not HTTPS. Open in **Private/Incognito mode** to avoid forced HTTPS redirection.
