Overview

So we can deploy Filer to your azure tenant a service connection needs to be set up.

The following explains how we setup the handshake between our pipeline and your azure tenant. In our case there are App Plans, App Services, Functional App, Storage Account, Insights.

Steps to setup service connection

  1. Customer to create an app registration in ADD. For example FilerServiceConnection. Then create a new secret and provide the following information to Encodian
    • Secret
    • App registrations ClientId
    • TenantId
  2. Customer to give Contributor access on the app registration. This can be done by going to the Subscription, then Access control (IAM) and then adding a new role assignment, granting Contributor permissions to the app registration
  3. Encodian using the Secret, ClientId and TenantId can then Verify and setup the connection.
  4. Encodian to create Pipeline Release Steps.
  5. Encodian to deploy latest version and make any final configuration changes before testing.
