chore: Dev to Main

[AjitPadhi-Microsoft]

Purpose

• This pull request introduces several improvements and new features to the deployment workflows, with a focus on enhanced scalability configuration, improved resource group tagging, and dependency updates. The main changes include adding a new ENABLE_SCALABILITY parameter to deployment workflows (especially relevant when deploying with WAF), improved tagging and messaging for Azure resource groups, validation enhancements, and updates to frontend dependencies.

Deployment Workflow Enhancements

• Added a new ENABLE_SCALABILITY input parameter to deployment workflows (deploy-v2.yml, deploy-orchestrator.yml, job-deploy.yml, job-deploy-linux.yml, job-deploy-windows.yml). This parameter allows users to enable or disable scalability features, particularly when WAF is enabled. Input validation ensures the value is either 'true' or 'false'. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

• Workflow jobs now pass the ENABLE_SCALABILITY parameter through to deployment steps and scripts, and update ARM template parameters accordingly using jq for both Linux and Windows deployments. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

• Improved validation logic for all relevant workflow inputs, including ENABLE_SCALABILITY, ensuring only acceptable values are used and providing clear error messages.

Azure Resource Group Tagging and Messaging

• Enhanced resource group creation and update steps to add an Owner tag (set to the GitHub actor) both when creating new resource groups and updating existing ones, with improved user-friendly logging and error handling. [1] [2]

Frontend Dependency Updates

• Updated several frontend dependencies in package.json, including @fluentui/react, @fluentui/react-icons, microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk, postcss, react, react-dom, react-router-dom, and uuid to their latest versions for improved performance and security.

Other Improvements

• Clarified and improved the descriptions of several workflow input parameters for better usability and documentation. [1] [2] [3] [4]
• Added a note in the OpenAI orchestrator backend to handle greetings and small talk directly, without unnecessary function calls.
• Removed unnecessary Azure CLI upgrade steps from the CosmosDB sample data import workflow to streamline execution.
