Repositories

For this demo reference, we built several consumer and line-of-business applications and a set of backend services. You can find all repositories in the following locations:

Tailwind Traders
Backend (AKS)
Website (ASP.NET & React)
Desktop (WinForms & WPF -.NET Core)
Rewards (ASP.NET Framework)
Mobile (Xamarin Forms 4.0)

Deployment scenarios

Tailwind Traders supports two deployment scenarios:

Deploy Tailwind Traders Backend on Azure AKS and Azure resources (CosmosDb and Storage accounts)
Deploy Tailwind Traders Backend on Windows and Linux containers in AKS

Service Principal

A Service Principal is needed for creating the AKS. If you use the CLI for create the resources, you can reuse a SP one passing to the script the id and password as optional parameters; if not, the script will create a new one for you and will print the details (id and password among them).

In case you use Azure Portal for the resources' creation, you can also reuse a SP or create manually a new one for passing the credentials to the template.

If you want to create a Service Principal, you can do so via the CLI

az ad sp create-for-rbac --skip-assignment --name myAKSClusterServicePrincipal

The output is similar to the following example. Make a note of your own appId and password. These values are used when you create an AKS cluster throughout this guide.

{
  "appId": "559513bd-0c19-4c1a-87cd-851a26afd5fc",
  "displayName": "myAKSClusterServicePrincipal",
  "name": "http://myAKSClusterServicePrincipal",
  "password": "e763725a-5eee-40e8-a466-dc88d980f415",
  "tenant": "72f988bf-86f1-41af-91ab-2d7cd011db48"
}

Deploy using one script

You can deploy all basics scenarios using one script under /Deploy folder.

Deploy Tailwind Traders Backend on Azure AKS and Azure resources (CosmosDb and Storage accounts)

Running the following command you can deploy starting with the infrastructure and ending with deploying the images on the storage:

.\Deploy-Unified.ps1 -resourceGroup <resource-group-name> -location <location> -clientId <service-principal-id> -password <service-principal-password> -subscription <subscription-id>

resourceGroup: The name of your resource group where all infrastructure will be created Required
location: Select where you want to create your resource group, for example: eastus Required
clientId: Id of the service principal used to create the AKS Required if your user does not have permissions to create a new one
password: Password of the service principal Required
subscription: Id of your subscription where you are going to deploy your resource group Required

The process will take few minutes.

Deploy Tailwind Traders Backend on Windows and Linux containers in AKS

Running the following command you can deploy starting with the infrastructure and ending with deploying the images on the storage. This command requires more parameters than Linux scenario because we need to build and deploy a WCF service.

Note For mixed (Windows and Linux containers) scenario we need to deploy Tailwind Traders Rewards before it. Because you are going to need some resources that Tailwind Traders Rewards creates.

.\Deploy-Unified-WinLinux.ps1 -resourceGroup <resource-group-name> -location <location> -clientId <service-principal-id> -password <service-principal-password> -subscription <subscription-id> -deployWinLinux $true -rewardsResourceGroup <resource-group-rewards-name> -rewardsDbPassword <database-rewards-password>

deployWinLinux: Flag needed to execute Windows-Linux scenario
csprojPath: Path location where Tailwind.Traders.Rewards.Registration.Api.csproj is in your machine Required
msBuildPath: Path location where MSBuild.exe is, for example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin
rewardsResourceGroup: The name of the resource group where Tailwind Traders Rewards is deployed Required
rewardsDbPassword: Tailwind Traders Rewards database password (Tailwind Traders Rewards Registration, WCF service, connects to this database) Required

The process will take few minutes, more than Linux scenario, it will create an Azure Kubernetes Service with Windows and Linux nodes.

In addition to the following documentation you can also deploy infrastructure and services step by step.

Deploy Tailwind Traders on AKS and Azure Resources (CosmosDb and Storage accounts)

To run Tailwind Traders you need to create the Azure infrastructure. There are two ways to do it. Using Azure portal or using a Powershell script.

Step 1 - Option 1: Creating infrastructure using Azure Portal

An ARM script is provided so you can automate the creation of the resources required for the backend services just clicking following button:

Azure portal will ask you for the following parameters:

servicePrincipalId: Id of the service principal used to create the AKS
servicePrincipalSecret: Password of the service principal
aksVersion: AKS version to use (at least 1.14).

The deployment could take more than 10 minutes, and once finished all needed resources will be created:

Step 1 - Option 2: Create the resources using the CLI

You can use the CLI to deploy the ARM script. Open a Powershell window from the /Deploy/powershell folder and run the Deploy-Arm-Azure.ps1 with following parameters:

-resourceGroup: Name of the resource group
-location: Location of the resource group

You can optionally pass two additional parameters:

-clientId: Id of the service principal uesd to create the AKS
-password: Password of the service principal

If these two parameters are not passed a new service principal will be created.

There is an additional optional parameters to control some aspects of what is created:

-deployAks: If set to $false AKS and ACR are not created. This is useful if you want to create the AKS yourself or use an existing AKS. Defaults to $true. If this parameter is $true the resource group can't exist (AKS must be deployed in a new resource group).

Once script finishes, everything is installed. If a service principal has been created, the script will output the service principal details - please, take note of the appId and password properties for use them in the AKS deployment

Step 2: Deploy Backend services on AKS

Pre-requisites for this deployment are to have:

The AKS and all related resources deployed in Azure
A terminal with Powershell environment
Azure CLI 2.0 installed.
Kubectl installed with the last version (v1.15.0 at this moment).
Helm 3 installed with 3.0 or superior version (v3.0.0 at this moment).
Docker installed

Connecting kubectl to AKS

From the terminal type:

az login and follow instructions to log into your Azure.
If you have more than one subscription type az account list -o table to list all your Azure subscriptions. Then type az account set --subscription <subscription-id> to select your subscription
az aks get-credentials -n <your-aks-name> -g <resource-group-name> to download the configuration files that kubectl needs to connect to your AKS.

At this point if you type kubectl config current-context the name of your AKS cluster should be displayed. That means that kubectl is ready to use your AKS

Configuring services

Before deploying services using Helm, you need to setup the configuration. We refer to the configuration file with the name of gvalues file. This file contains all secrets and connection strings so beware to not commit in your repo accidentally.

An example of this file is in helm/gvalues.yaml. The deployment scripts use this file by default, but do not rely on editing this file. Instead create a copy of it a folder outside the repository and use the -valuesFile parameter of the deployment script.

Note: The folder /Deploy/helm/__values/ is added to .gitignore, so you can keep all your configuration files in it, to avoid accidental pushes.

Note: If you come from the Windows and Linux containers scenario you must add the Rewards database's connection string, in the values file you are using, for example:

inf:
(...)
  db:
  (...)
    rewards:
      host: tcp:*****.database.windows.net
      port: "1433"
      catalog: rewardsdb # you must not modify this name
      user: ttuser
      pwd: YourPassword
    (...)

Please refer to the comments of the file for its usage. Just ignore (but not delete) the tls section (it is used if TLS is enabled).

Auto generating the configuration file

Generating a valid gvalues file can be a bit harder, so there is a Powershell script that can do all work by you. This script assumes that all resources are deployed in the same resource group, and this resource group contains only the Tailwind Traders resources. Also assumes the Azure resources have been created using the tools provided in this repo.

Note The Generate-Config.ps1 uses the application-insights CLI extension to find the application insights id. Install it with az extension add --name application-insights

To auto-generate your gvalues file just go to /Deploy/powershell folder and from a Powershell window, type the following:

.\Generate-Config.ps1 -resourceGroup <your-resource-group> -outputFile ..\helm\__values\<name-of-your-file>

The parameters that Generate-Config.ps1 accepts are:

-resourceGroup: Resource group where all Azure resources are. Required.
-outputFile: Full path of the output file to generate. A good idea is to generate a file in /Deploy/helm/__values/ folder as this folder is ignored by Git. If not passed the result file is written on screen.
-gvaluesTemplate: Template of the gvalues file to use. The parameter defaults to the /Deploy/helm/gvalues.template which is the only template provided.

The script checks that all needed resources exists in the resource group. If some resource is missing or there is an unexpected resource, the script exits.

If you come from the Windows and Linux containers in AKS scenario and you want to use the rewards registration service you have to pass also the following parameters:

-rewardsResourceGroup: Fill it if you are going to use Rewards DB (this is used, for example in the Windows and Linux containers in AKS scenarios).
-rewardsDbPassword: The database password for the administrator user. Required if a rewardsResourceGroup is provided.

Otherwise the script will disable the rewards registration service.

Create secrets on the AKS

Docker images are stored in a ACR (a private Docker Registry hosted in Azure).

Before deploying anything on AKS, a secret must be installed to allow AKS to connect to the ACR through a Kubernetes' service account.

To do so from a Powershell terminal run the ./Create-Secret.ps1 inside powershell folder with following parameters:

-resourceGroup <group> Resource group where AKS is
-acrName <name> Name of the ACR

This will create the secret in AKS using ACR credentials. If ACR login is not enabled you can create a secret by using a service principal. In case that ACR is not created with administrator rights you will have to provide the service principal clientId and secret:

-clientId <id> Client id of the service principal to use
-password <pwd> Service principal secret

Build & deploy images to ACR

You can manually use docker-compose to build and push the images to the ACR. If using compose you can set following environment variables:

TAG: Will contain the generated docker images tag
REGISTRY: Registry to use. This variable should be set to the login server of the ACR

Once set, you can use docker-compose build and docker-compose push to build and push the images.

Additionaly there is a Powershell script in the Deploy folder, named Build-Push.ps1. You can use this script for building and pushing ALL images to ACR. Parameters of this script are:

resourceGroup: Resource group where ACR is. Required.
acrName: ACR name (not login server). Required.
dockerTag: Tag to use for generated images (defaults to latest)
dockerBuild: If $true (default value) docker images will be built using docker-compose build.
dockerPush: If $true (default value) docker images will be push to ACR using docker-compose push.
isWindows: If $true (default to $false) will use the docker compose file for windows.

This script uses az CLI to get ACR information, and then uses docker-compose to build and push the images to ACR.

To build and push images tagged with v1 to a ACR named my-acr in resource group named my-rg, execute the following command inside /Deploy/powershell

.\Build-Push.ps1 -resourceGroup my-rg -dockerTag v1 -acrName my-acr

To just push the images (without building them before):

.\Build-Push.ps1 -resourceGroup my-rg -dockerTag v1 -acrName my-acr -dockerBuild $false

If you want to deploy the rewards registration image just call this command with the isWindows parameter set to true.

Notes:

Remember to switch to Windows containers.

The project needs to be published previously with the already created FolderProfile.

Limit the used resources for the services

You can set the CPU and RAM limit and request consumption values for each one of the services, editing the values in its corresponding values.yaml, under the field resources:

resources:
  limits:
    cpu: "500m"
  requests:
    cpu: "100m"

Enabling SSL/TLS on the cluster (optional BUT highly recommended)

Tailwind Traders can be deployed with TLS (https) support. For this to work a TLS/SSL certificate must be installed on the Kubernetes cluster. Three options are provided:

Use staging certificate from Let's Encrypt. Not valid for production scenarios as staging certificates are not trusted.
Use production certificate from Let's Encrypt. Valid for production scenarios as production certificates are trusted. Should be used only if you have a custom domain (trying to generate a Let's Encrypt certificate from the url generated by http application routing won't probably work).
Use a custom certificate provided by you.

If Let's Encrypt is choose, then cert-manager is used. Cert-manager allows auto-provisioning of TLS certificates using Let's Encrypt and ACME protocol. The certificate is requested, created and installed on the server without any manual intervention.

Using Let's Encrypt and Cert manager

To enable SSL/TLS support you must do it before deploying your images. The first step is to add cert-manager to the cluster by running ./Add-Cert-Manager.ps1. It has no parameters and use helm to configure cert-manager in the cluster. This needs to be done only once.

Then you should run ./Enable-Ssl.ps1 with following parameters:

-sslSupport: Use staging or prod to use the staging or production environments of Let's Encrypt
-aksName: The name of the AKS to use
-resourceGroup: Name of the resource group where AKS is
-domain: Domain to use for the SSL/TLS certificates. Is optional and if not used it defaults to the public domain of the AKS. Note that this public domain exists only if Http Application routing is installed on the AKS. Only need to use this parameter if using custom domains.

Output of the script will be something like following:

NAME:   tailwindtraders-ssl
LAST DEPLOYED: Fri Dec 21 11:32:00 2018
NAMESPACE: default
STATUS: DEPLOYED

RESOURCES:
==> v1alpha1/Certificate
NAME             AGE
tt-cert-staging  0s

==> v1alpha1/Issuer
NAME                 AGE
letsencrypt-staging  0s

You can verify that the issuer object is created using kubectl get issuers:

PS> kubectl get issuers
NAME                  AGE
letsencrypt-staging   4m

You can verify that the certificate object is created using kubectl get certificates:

PS> kubectl get certificates
NAME              AGE
tt-cert-staging   4m

The certificate object is not the real SSL/TLS certificate but a definition on how get one from Let's Encrypt. The certificate itself is stored in a secret, called letsencrypt-staging (or letsencrypt-prod). You should see a secret named tt-letsencrypt-xxxx (where xxxx is either staging or prod).

PS> kubectl get secrets
NAME                  TYPE                                  DATA      AGE
acr-auth              kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson        1         2d
default-token-6tm9t   kubernetes.io/service-account-token   3         3d
letsencrypt-prod      Opaque                                1         3h
letsencrypt-staging   Opaque                                1         4h
tt-letsencrypt-prod   kubernetes.io/tls                     2         5m
ttsa-token-rkjlg      kubernetes.io/service-account-token   3         2d

The SSL/TLS secret names are:

letsencrypt-staging: Secret for the staging issuer. This is NOT the SSL/TLS certificate
tt-letsencrypt-staging: Secret for the staging SSL/TLS certificate.
letsencrypt-prod: Secret for the prod issuer. This is NOT the SSL/TLS certificate
tt-letsencrypt-prod: Secret for the prod SSL/TLS certificate.

At this point the support for SSL/TLS is installed, and you can install Tailwind Traders Backend on the cluster.

Note: You don't need to do this again, unless you want to change the domain of the SSL/TLS certificate. In this case you need to remove the issuer and certificate objects (using helm delete tailwindtraders-ssl --purge and then reinstall again)

Remember Staging certificates are not trusted, so browsers will complain about it, exactly in the same way that they complain about a self-signed certificate. The only purpose is to test all the deployment works, but in any production environment you must use the prod environment. In development/test environments is recommended to install the staging certificates and then trust those certificates in the developers' machines. You can download the Let's Encrypt staging certificates from their web.

Another way to validate your certificate deployment is doing a kubectl describe cert tt-cert-staging (or tt-cert-prod). In the Events section you should see that the certificate has been obtained:

Events:
  Type    Reason          Age   From          Message
  ----    ------          ----  ----          -------
  Normal  CreateOrder     10m   cert-manager  Created new ACME order, attempting validation...
  Normal  DomainVerified  9m    cert-manager  Domain "e43cd6ae16f344a093dc.eastus.aksapp.io" verified with "http-01" validation
  Normal  IssueCert       9m    cert-manager  Issuing certificate...
  Normal  CertObtained    9m    cert-manager  Obtained certificate from ACME server
  Normal  CertIssued      9m    cert-manager  Certificate issued successfully

Use custom Certificate

If you already have a TLS certificate from your certificate authority you can deploy it on the server. Using Powershell, run the Enable-Ssl.ps1 script with following parameters:

-sslSupport: Use custom
-aksName: The name of the AKS to use
-resourceGroup: Name of the resource group where AKS is
-domain: Domain bounded to your AKS. It has to be compatible with the domains allowed by your TLS certificate
-tlsCertFile: Certificate file
-tlsKeyFile: Certificate key file
-tlsSecretName: Name of the Kubernetes secret that will store the certificate. Defaults to tt-tls-custom

The certificate file file with the certificate public key. Usually is a .cert or .crt file.
The certificate key file is the file with the certificate private key, usually a .key file.

If you have a .pfx file you need to convert it to the separate .crt and .key files:

# Extract encrypted key from pfx file
openssl pkcs12 -in certfile.pfx -nocerts -out keyfile-encrypted.key
# Unencrypt key file
openssl rsa -in keyfile-encrypted.key -out keyfile.key
# Extract certificate file from pfx file
openssl pkcs12 -in certfile.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out certfile.crt

Deploying services

Note: If you want to add SSL/TLS support on the cluster (needed to use https on the web) please read Enabling SSL/TLS on the cluster section before installing the backend.

You can deploy Tailwind Traders using a custom domain or in the domain created by Http Application Routing (if enabled). If you are using a custom domain be sure to:

Have the ingress public IP linked to custom domain
Use the parameter tlsHost with the value of your custom domain (regardless its name you need to use this parameter even if no TLS is enabled).

If tlsHost is not passed, the script will assume that Http Application Routing is installed in the AKS. If the script has problems detecting the host name verify that the AKS has http_application_routing enabled.

More information

You need to use Powershell and run ./Deploy-Images-Aks.ps1 with following parameters:

-name <name> Name of the deployment. Defaults to tailwindtraders
-aksName <name> Name of the AKS
-resourceGroup <group> Name of the resource group
-acrName <name> Name of the ACR
-tag <tag> Docker images tag to use. Defaults to latest
-charts <charts> List of comma-separated values with charts to install. Defaults to * (all linux containers)
-valuesFile <values-file>: Values file to use (defaults to gvalues.yaml)
-tlsEnv prod|staging|custom If SSL/TLS support has been installed, you have to use this parameter to enable https endpoints. Value must be staging, prod or custom and must be the same value used when you installed SSL/TLS support. If SSL/TLS is not installed, you can omit this parameter.
-tlsSecretName: Name of the Kubernetes secret that stores the TLS certificate. Only used if tlsEnv is custom (ignored otherwise) and defaults to tt-tls-custom.
-tlsHost: Name of the domain bounded to HTTPS endpoints. That is the same value passed to `
-autoscale <boolean>: Flag to activate HPA autoscaling. Defaults to $false.

This script will install all services using Helm and your custom configuration from the configuration file set by -valuesFile parameter.

The parameter charts allow for a selective installation of charts. Is a list of comma-separated values that mandates the services to deploy in the AKS. Values are:

pr Products API
cp Coupons API
pf Profiles API
pp Popular products API
st Stock API
ic Image classifier API
ct Shopping cart API
lg Login API
rr Rewards Registration (not deployed with *)
mgw Mobile Api Gateway
wgw Web Api Gateway

So, using charts pp,st will only install the popular products and the stock api.

If you want to deploy the whole win-linux environment (with rewards registration pod) use -charts "*,rr.

Deploying the images on the storage

To deploy the needed images on the Azure Storage account just run the /Deploy/Deploy-Pictures-Azure.ps1 script, with following parameters:

-resourceGroup <name>: Resource group where storage is created
-storageName <name>: Name of the storage account

Script will create blob containers and copy the images (located in /Deploy/tailwindtraders-images folder) to the storage account.

Using AKS with Windows and Linux containers

This version allows us to deploy Windows and Linux containers. We need to create and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with 1.14 version. This AKS version is in preview, so you must execute the following command:

az extension add --name aks-preview

We have added an ARM template so you can automate the creation of the resources required for the backend services.

Click the following button to deploy:

For mixed (Windows and Linux containers) scenario we need to deploy Tailwind Traders Rewards. The data base deployed in Tailwind Traders Rewards is used by a WCF service of this project.

Follow the Step 2: Deploy AKS to deploy the services to AKS.

| Note: In code is important to set RegisterUsers variable true to test all the features.

Run Backend Services Locally

The easiest way to run your backend services locally is using Compose. To run the services type docker-compose up from terminal located in ./Source folder. This will build (if needed) the Docker images and bring up all the containers.

Note: Only Linux containers are supported currently.

Configurate containers

There are some services that connect to a CosmosDb database, hence you require to provide cosmosdb host and key using environment variables, or even better, through an .env file.

To do so, just create a file named .env in the same ./Source folder with following content pointing to your previously created in the Azure portal:

COSMOSDB_HOST=<Url of your CosmosDb>
COSMOSDB_AUTHKEY=<AuthKey of your CosmosDb>

If you are using Windows, you can run the CosmosDb emulator. If using it, you can use following .env file:

COSMOSDB_HOST=https://10.75.0.1:8081/
COSMOSDB_AUTHKEY=C2y6yDjf5/R+ob0N8A7Cgv30VRDJIWEHLM+4QDU5DE2nQ9nDuVTqobD4b8mGGyPMbIZnqyMsEcaGQy67XIw/Jw==

Running using Visual Studio

To run the Backend using Visual Studio, just open the Tailwind.Traders.Backend.sln, and set "Docker-compose" as startup project and run the solution. Visual Studio will use the compose file to build and run all the containers.

Running using Devspaces

Tailwind Traders supports Azure Devspaces. Follow the steps in this document to deploy Tailwind traders under devspaces.

Note: There is an end-to-end Devspaces demo.

Requeriments

AKS with Devspaces enabled
Devspaces CLI installed

Note Tailwind Traders has been tested with Devspaces CLI version:

Azure Dev Spaces CLI
1.0.20190423.8
API v3.2

Creating a parent Devspace

First you need to create the parent devspace, using Azure CLI:

> azds space select
Select a dev space or Kubernetes namespace to use as a dev space.
 [1] default
Type a number or a new name:

Type the name of the parent devspace in the prompr (like dev):

Dev space 'dev' does not exist and will be created.

Select a parent dev space or Kubernetes namespace to use as a parent dev space.
 [0] <none>
 [1] default
Type a number:

Type 0 to make the dev devspace a root devspace.

Then the devspace is created. You can check that the devspace is created by typing:

>azds space list
   Name     DevSpacesEnabled
-  -------  ----------------
   default  False
*  dev      True

Deploying the service account and secrets in the namespace

Run Create-Secret.ps1 inside /Deploy/powershell it will create ttsa and ACR secret related to your namespace.

-resourceGroup: Name of the resource group Required for this demo.
-acrName: Name of your Azure Container Registry Required for this demo.
-clientId: Service Principal Id.
-password: Service Principal Password.
-namespace: Name of your namespace defined above, default is empty. Required for this demo for example dev.

It will create pods needed to deploy images, ttsa and acr-secrets pods inside selected namespace.

Deploying to the parent Devspace using CLI

Like deploying without devspaces you need a configuration file (a gvalues.yml like file) with all the needed configuration (connection strings, storage keys, endpoints, etc). To be used by devspaces this file has to be named gvalues.azds.yaml and has to be located in the /Deploy/helm/ folder.

Note: File /Deploy/helm/gvalues.azds.yaml is in the .gitignore, so it is ignored by Git.

You should have to copy your configuration file to the /Deploy/helm and rename to gvalues.azds.yaml. The powershell script /Deploy/demos/devspaces/Prepare-Devspaces.ps1 can do it for you:

.\Prepare-Devspaces.ps1 -file \Path\To\My\Config\File.yaml

Example (inside devspaces folder run):

.\prepare-devspaces.ps1 -file ..\..\helm\__values\configFile.yaml

The script just copies the file passed in to the /Deploy/helm folder with the right name. If file already exists is overwritted.

Once you have a valid configuration file, you need to deploy the APIs to the devspaces. You need to go to the root source folder of each API and type:

azds up -v -d

(The root source folder of each API is the one that has the azds.yaml file, like /Source/Services/Tailwind.Traders.Login.Api/ or /Source/ApiGWs/Tailwind.Traders.WebBff/).

APIs that have devspaces enabled are:

MobileBFF (/Source/ApiGWs/Tailwind.Traders.Bff) - a Net Core API
WebBFF (/Source/ApiGWs/Tailwind.Traders.WebBff) - a Net Core API
Cart API (/Source/Services/Tailwind.Traders.Cart.Api) - a Node.js API
Coupons API (/Source/Services/Tailwind.Traders.Coupon.Api) - a Node.js API
Login API (/Source/Services/Tailwind.Traders.Login.Api) - a Net Core API
Popular Products API (/Source/Services/Tailwind.Traders.PopularProduct.Api) - a Golang API
Profiles API (/Source/Services/Tailwind.Traders.Profile.Api) - a Net Core API
Stock API (/Source/Services/Tailwind.Traders.Stock.Api) - a Java API

Once you have all them deployed in Dev Spaces you can check it using azds list-up:

>  azds list-up
Name             DevSpace  Type     Updated  Status
---------------  --------  -------  -------  -------
cart             dev       Service  8m ago   Running
coupons          dev       Service  7m ago   Running
login            dev       Service  7m ago   Running
mobilebff        dev       Service  15m ago  Running
popularproducts  dev       Service  5m ago   Running
product          dev       Service  3m ago   Running
profile          dev       Service  2m ago   Running
stock            dev       Service  1m ago   Running
webbff           dev       Service  9m ago   Running

Each API has its own ingress created. The command azds list-uris will display all URIs for every service:

>  azds list-uris
Uri                                                                     Status

Congratulations! You have deployed all APIs in a parent Dev Space

Deploying on a child Dev Space

To deploy an API to a child Dev Space just create the child Dev Space (using azds space select), selecting dev as parent devspace. Then deploy again (with azds up -d -v) one of the APIs.

Here Alice is one engineer that need to fix a bug in the Stock API, so first she creates a child devspace for her to use:

>  azds space select
Select a dev space or Kubernetes namespace to use as a dev space.
 [1] default
 [2] dev
Type a number or a new name: alice

Dev space 'alice' does not exist and will be created.

Select a parent dev space or Kubernetes namespace to use as a parent dev space.
 [0] <none>
 [1] default
 [2] dev
Type a number: 2

Creating and selecting dev space 'dev/alice'...2s

An azds space list verifies that she is using the Dev Space alice:

>  azds space list
   Name       DevSpacesEnabled
-  ---------  ----------------
   default    False
   dev        True
*  dev/alice  True

Fist she must deploy the /Deploy/helm/ttsa.yaml file using kubectl apply. If she fails doing that, the Devspaces deploy will be stuck at "Waiting for container image build..." phase.

She can now deploy her version of Stock API, just going to /Source/Services/Tailwind.Traders.Stock.Api and use azds up -d -v. Once service is deployed a azds list-up shows that, for Alice, all APIs runs on dev but Stock API:

>  azds list-up
Name             DevSpace  Type     Updated  Status
---------------  --------  -------  -------  -------
cart             dev       Service  16m ago  Running
coupons          dev       Service  16m ago  Running
login            dev       Service  15m ago  Running
mobilebff        dev       Service  23m ago  Running
popularproducts  dev       Service  13m ago  Running
product          dev       Service  11m ago  Running
profile          dev       Service  10m ago  Running
stock            alice     Service  1m ago   Running
webbff           dev       Service  17m ago  Running

If Alice types azds list-uris she will see the URIs for her namespace. These are the uris she has to use:

> azds list-uris
Uri                                                                             Status

Next step is deploy the website in the devspaces too.

Note: The web must be deployed in the same AKS that Backend is deployed. Deploy 1st the backend and then the Website.

Test image classiffier

To test the image classiffier service, you can use the curl to get the suggested products.

The modifier "-v" is for verbose mode.

To use the web backend for frontend gateway:
- curl YOUR_URL_OF_BACKEND/webbff/V1/products/imageclassifier -X POST -F "file=@C:\YOUR_PATH_AND_FILENAME_OF_PHOTO_TO_SEARCH" -v
To call directly to image classifier service:
- curl YOUR_URL_OF_BACKEND/image-classifier-api/V1/imageclassifier -X POST -F "file=@C:\YOUR_PATH_AND_FILENAME_OF_PHOTO_TO_SEARCH.jpg" -v

The response should be similar to:

[{"id":57,"name":"Yellow hard hat with tool bag pack","price":46.0,"imageUrl":"YOUR_URL_OF_STORAGE/images/product-list/59890052.jpg"}]* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact

You have sample images to test this feature in:
