Deployment on Azure?

[zackarno]

Hello,

I was wondering Is it possible to deploy a shiny golem app on Azure?

In the Engineering Production-Grade Shiny Apps book the following limitation is written:

"Other platforms can run Docker containers, notably AWS and Google Cloud Engine. At the time of writing these lines, golem does not provide support for these environments, but that is on the to-do list!"

A quick google search revealed various instructional tutorials/blogs on deploying shiny to an Azure Web Apps (a few examples below), but the above description made me wonder if there is something inherent to golem that would interfere with this process.

Hello,

We indeed haven't work on this so far.

Can you expand on what you would be looking for here?

My understanding is that the required workflow would be:

-> golem::add_azure_devops_deploy(), which would produce:

• the pipeline yml (I can't remember the name of this file)
• push to the Azure Docker registry (maybe ?)

I don't have access to a working Azure setup for now, but would be happy to collaborate on this.
