Add azd provision workflow to automate Azure infrastructure provisioning #7
Description
This repository lacks a GitHub Actions workflow within .github/workflows/ that runs azd provision.
Adding a CI workflow that provisions (and later deploys) infrastructure via the Azure Developer CLI improves reliability and makes onboarding smoother.
Required Action
Add a workflow similar to the standard azure-dev.yaml used in Azure Samples. A minimal example:
name: Deploy to Azure with azd
on:
workflow_dispatch:
push:
branches: [ main ]
permissions:
id-token: write
contents: read
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v5
- name: Install azd
uses: Azure/setup-azd@v2
- name: Azure login (federated)
run: |
azd auth login --client-id "$AZURE_CLIENT_ID" \
--tenant-id "$AZURE_TENANT_ID" --federated-credential-provider github
env:
AZURE_CLIENT_ID: ${{ vars.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}
AZURE_TENANT_ID: ${{ vars.AZURE_TENANT_ID }}
- name: Provision Infrastructure
run: |
azd provision --no-prompt
env:
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID: ${{ vars.AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID }}
AZURE_ENV_NAME: ${{ vars.AZURE_ENV_NAME }}
AZURE_LOCATION: ${{ vars.AZURE_LOCATION }}
- name: Deploy Application
run: |
azd deploy --no-prompt
env:
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID: ${{ vars.AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID }}
AZURE_ENV_NAME: ${{ vars.AZURE_ENV_NAME }}
AZURE_LOCATION: ${{ vars.AZURE_LOCATION }}For a more complete example (including environment variables based off main.parameters.json),
see https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-openai-demo/blob/main/.github/workflows/azure-dev.yml
Rationale
- Ensures infra is provisioned consistently by automation
- Enables repeatable environments via azd
- Aligns with current Azure Developer CLI best practices
After adding the workflow, ensure required org/repo variables and federated credentials are configured (run azd pipeline config locally if needed).
