epic: Deployment Engine (v2)

[kevinhillinger]

Overview

• Target Jenkins
• Docker

Driver

• Get all deployed resources from the destination Resource Group (instead of knowing in advance how many resources will be deployed, it's a running tally)
  • API call from the UI (new)
• Convert input parameter Resource Group from Create UI into environment variable in MODM

Jenkins infrastructure

• Jenkins preconfiguration - as some sort of image or volume
• Select a non-licensed Docker network for composing docker containers
• Select a Container Runtime (alternative from Docker runtime)
• IMPORTANT: Make sure we use a non-licensed version of the JDK for Jenkins (e.g. OpenJDK)

Driver interactions

• Job creation
• Job execution with parameters (specific per deployment type)
• Post Build results collection
  • All build, either pre, during, or post, write a file and have the Driver pick it up using folder watchers

Bootstrapping Jenkins

• Jenkins health check (ensure Jenkins is up and running)

• Adding credentials for either Managed Identity or Service Principal to Jenkins via API

  • includes SubscriptionId

• Unattended Jenkins user creation (user, password, API token)

• Setup "Global Properties" environment variables in Jenkins:

  • AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME
  • AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID
  • AZURE_LOCATION
  • AZURE_TENANT_ID

Configuration

• The job configurations (config.xml files) will be tokenized
  • Terraform
  • ARM template
