How to deploy Azure Logic Apps using Azure DevOps


If you’re looking answer for the following:

  • How to use Azure DevOps to deploy Azure Logic Apps?
  • How to do Continuous deployment of Azure Logic Apps using Azure DevOps?
  • How to develop Azure Logic Apps using Visual Studio and deploy it using AzureDevops?

You’re in the right place.

In this demonstration, I’ll be using the following tools / services

  • Visual Studio 2017 with Logic Apps Tools 
  • AzureDevOps (as of writing, they’re changing the product every 3 weeks)

Walkthough

  • Create Azure Logic Apps using Visual Studio 2017
    • Create multiple parameters per environment
  • Azure DevOps setup
    • Setup of AzureDevOps Service Connections
    • Setup of AzureDevOps Pipelines
    • Setup of AzureDevOps Release

Create Azure Logic Apps using Visual Studio 2017

  1. Open Visual Studio and connect to your AzureDevOps Instance
  2.  Once connected, Click File -> New Project -> Cloud -> Azure Resource Group

LogicAppProject

3. Select Logic app template and click next.

4. Open the logic app by Right Clicking the LogicApp.json -> Select Open With Logic App Designer.

LogicAppOpenDesigner

5. It will prompt the Logic App Properties, from here you’ll have to select the Subscription and resource group.

LogicAppSubscription

6. Develop the Logic App. You can copy from the list of template already available.

7. Create a copy of parameters file. In this example, I’ll create 3 different parameters files (dev, test and production). In the parameters file, i’ll use different logic app name per environment. The param file will be used later on in the AzureDevOps Release.

8. Checkin the source code to Azure DevOps and later on we will link the Azure Pipeline to the source control.

Once this is done, we’re ready to configure and deploy using Azure DevOps.

Azure DevOps Setup

  1. Setup the Service Connection, this is needed when we configure the Release.
  2. Go to AzureDevOps project -> Click the Configure -> Pipelines -> Service Connections -> New Service Connection. Select Add an Azure Resource Manager service connectionAzureDevOpsServiceConnection
  3. Add a connection name. For the first example you can name it Azure Development. Create 2 more connections for Test and Production. In all cases, make sure to select a different resrouce group.
  4. Setup the Azure DevOps Pipelines, nothing special just do a Build of solution and Publish of artifact.AzurePipelineSetup
  5. Setup the Azure DevOps Release, overall it looks like this. and the configuration is repeating every stage (see #7). AzureReleaseView
  6. Development Stage Setup. You only need the Create Or Update Resource Group. Select the correct subscription (that we created in #1) and the template parameters (dev.parameters.json = Development)AzureReleaseSetup
  7. Clone the Development Stage to Test and Production.
  8. Only thing needs to be changed is the Subscription and the parameters.json file.

 

Testing

  1. Provided that you’ve setup the pipeline to do Continuous integration (Triggers-> Enable Continous integration). The moment you make changes to logic app and checkin the code. The Pipeline will be triggered.
  2. Once Pipeline succeeded, you can create a Release from it. This is how it looks like:AzureReleaseSuccesful
