Bicep Deployment

This directory contains the Bicep template and a deployment script for provisioning Azure services in LocalStack for Azure. Refer to the ACI Blob Storage guide for details about the sample application.

Prerequisites

• LocalStack for Azure: Local Azure cloud emulator for development and testing
• Docker: Container runtime required for LocalStack
• Azure CLI: Azure command-line interface
• Bicep extension: VS Code extension for Bicep language support
• azlocal CLI: LocalStack Azure CLI wrapper
• jq: JSON processor for scripting

Installing azlocal CLI

pip install azlocal

Architecture Overview

The deploy.sh script first builds and pushes the Docker image to ACR, then the main.bicep template creates the following Azure resources:

1. Azure Storage Account: Provides blob storage for vacation activity data.
2. Azure Key Vault: Stores the storage connection string as a secret.
3. Azure Container Registry: Hosts the Docker container image.
4. Azure Container Instances: Runs the containerized Flask application.

For more information on the sample application, see ACI Blob Storage.
