The document presents Part 2 of a three-part series on transitioning from development to production using Azure Logic Apps, focusing on build and release processes with VSTS. It discusses deployment flow options, such as copying ARM templates and the associated pros and cons, and offers lessons learned during development. Key topics include API management, Azure Functions, and practical examples of logic apps for order management and data retrieval.

9. Deployment Options
Copy Paste
ARM Templates

10. Copy Paste
Pros:
• Easy to get started
Cons:
• How to make sure all actions are updates with correct settings
• API Connections
• Destination end points
• Reliable deployments? Doing the same misstakes over and over again

11. ARM Templates
Pros:
• ”Standard” Azure deployment
• Contains all resources
• API Connections
• Logging
• Alarms
• Out of box support for Key Vault during deployments
• Possible to find other Azure Resources for auto generating keys etc
Cons:
• ARM knowledge needed

12. ARM Setup

13. INT001-EnvironmentCheck
Hello World Sample, simple reques response with one paramter

14. INT002-GetOrder
Get order from SQL server
• Logic App
• API Connection SQL

15. INT003-CreateOrder
Flow to create order, using Azure Functions for validation and blob storage for archiving.
• Logic App
• API Connection SQL

16. INT004-GetTrafficInfoRoad
Use a Logic App to get Environemnt data and send request to API Management api
to get data from Trafikverket

17. Recap ARM Setup

18. Lessons learned
• Visual Studio development is Online (no offline mode) and has extra
latency
• Using to mutch Logic App parameters provide poor visibility of
settings
• Requires understanding of ARM (when things go south)
• Automation is your friend
• ARM deployments support KeyVault
