## Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

- **Azure Subscription**: You need an Azure subscription to create resources in Azure. If you don't have one, you can create a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/).

- **Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell**: You need either Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell installed and configured to interact with your Azure account. You can download them from [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli) and [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/install-az-ps) respectively.

- **Terraform or Bicep**: Depending on your preference, you need either Terraform or Bicep installed to deploy the infrastructure. You can download Terraform from [here](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) and Bicep from [here](https://github.com/Azure/bicep#installing-bicep-cli).

- **Knowledge of Azure App Service**: This project involves deploying and managing Azure App Service resources. Familiarity with Azure App Service and its concepts is recommended.

Please replace the links and the software versions with the ones that are relevant to your project.

## Getting Started

Follow the steps below to get started with the App Service Landing Zone Accelerator.

### Step 1. Reference implementations

In this project, we currently have the following reference implementations:

| Scenario | Description | Documentation | Pipeline Status |
| -------- | ----------- | ------------- | --------------- |
| :arrow_forward: [Scenario 1: App Service Secure Baseline Multi-Tenant](scenarios/secure-baseline-multitenant/README.md) | This scenario deploys a multi-tenant App Service environment with a Hub and Spoke network topology. | [README](scenarios/secure-baseline-multitenant/README.md) | [![Scenario 1: Terraform HUB Multi-tenant Secure Baseline](https://github.com/Azure/appservice-landing-zone-accelerator/actions/workflows/scenario1.terraform.hub.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/Azure/appservice-landing-zone-accelerator/actions/workflows/scenario1.terraform.hub.yml) [![Scenario 1: Terraform SPOKE Multi-tenant Secure Baseline](https://github.com/Azure/appservice-landing-zone-accelerator/actions/workflows/scenario1.terraform.spoke.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Azure/appservice-landing-zone-accelerator/actions/workflows/scenario1.terraform.spoke.yml) [![Scenario 1: Bicep Multi-Tenant ASEv3 Secure Baseline](https://github.com/Azure/appservice-landing-zone-accelerator/actions/workflows/ase-multitenant.bicep.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/Azure/appservice-landing-zone-accelerator/actions/workflows/ase-multitenant.bicep.yml) |

> **Note**
Currently, the App Service Secure Baseline Multi-Tenant is the only reference implementation available. However, both the Terraform and Bicep configuration files have feature flags available to accommodate additional scenarios. More reference input files will be provided to accommodate additional reference implementations in the future.

### Step 2. Configure and test the deployment in your own environment

With the selected reference implementation, you can now choose between `Bicep` or `Terraform` to deploy the scenario's infrastructure.

#### Deploy with Azure Portal (Bicep/ARM)

[![Deploy to Azure](https://aka.ms/deploytoazurebutton)](https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_CreateUIDef/CustomDeploymentBlade/uri/https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fazure%2Fappservice-landing-zone-accelerator%2Fmain%2Fscenarios%2Fsecure-baseline-multitenant%2Fazure-resource-manager%2Fmain.json/uiFormDefinitionUri/https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fazure%2Fappservice-landing-zone-accelerator%2Fmain%2Fscenarios%2Fsecure-baseline-multitenant%2Fazure-resource-manager%2Fmain-portal-ux.json)

#### Locally deploy with Bicep

For additional information, view the Bicep README [here](scenarios/secure-baseline-multitenant/bicep/README.md).

The Bicep configuration files are located in the [scenarios/secure-baseline-multitenant/bicep](scenarios/secure-baseline-multitenant/bicep/) directory.

Before deploying the Bicep IaC artifacts, you need to review and customize the values of the parameters in the [main.parameters.jsonc](scenarios/secure-baseline-multitenant/bicep/main.parameters.jsonc) file.

> **Note**
Azure Developer CLI (azd) is also supported as a deployment method. Since azd CLI does not support parameter files with *jsonc* extension, we provide a simple json parameter file (which does not contain inline comments)

The expandable table below summarizes the available parameters and the possible values that can be set.

Bicep Configuration Parameters Table

| Name | Description | Example |
|------|-------------|---------|

**tenantId**: The tenantId of the Microsoft Entra ID ||

Locally deploy with Terraform
1. Ensure you are logged in to Azure CLI and have selected the correct subscription.
1. Navigate to the Terraform deployment directory (same directory as the `main.tf` file).
- [scenarios/secure-baseline-multitenant/terraform/hub](scenarios/secure-baseline-multitenant/terraform/hub/)
- [scenarios/secure-baseline-multitenant/terraform/spoke](scenarios/secure-baseline-multitenant/terraform/spoke/)
> **Note**
> The GitHub Action deployments for Terraform `hub` and `spoke` are currently separated due to the amount of time both components take to deploy. It is advised to use a self-hosted agent to ensure the deployment does not timeout.
1. Familiarize yourself with the deployment files:
- `main.tf` - Contains the Terraform provider configurations for the selected deployment/module. Note the `backend "azurerm" {}` block as this configures your [Terraform deployment's remote state](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/settings/backends/azurerm). Also contains the resource group definitions to host the deployed resources.
- `_locals.tf` - Contains the local variable declarations as well as custom logic to support naming and tagging conventions across each module.
- `variables.tf` - Contains the input variable declarations for the selected deployment/module.
- `outputs.tf` - Contains the output variable declarations for the selected deployment/module.
- other `.tf` files - Contains groupings of resources for organizational purposes.
- `Parameters/uat.tfvars` - Reference input parameter file for the UAT environment.
1. Navigate to the Terraform deployment directory (same directory as the `main.tf` file).
1. Run `terraform init` to initialize the deployment.
1. Run `terraform plan -var-file="Parameters/uat.tfvars"` to review the deployment plan.
1. Run `terraform apply -var-file="Parameters/uat.tfvars"` to deploy the resources.

### Step 3. Configure GitHub Actions

> **Note**
The GitHub Actions pipelines are currently configured to deploy the Terraform `hub` and `spoke` deployments. The Bicep pipelines are currently in development.

GitHub Actions pipelines are located in the [`.github/workflows`](.github/workflows/) directory with templates stored in the [`.github/actions`](.github/actions/) directory.i

1. Create an Microsoft Entra ID Service Principal for OIDC Authentication
- Reference the following documentation to configure your Microsoft Entra ID Service Principal: [OIDC authentication to Azure](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/saas-apps/github-enterprise-managed-user-oidc-provisioning-tutorial).
1. Configure your GitHub Actions Secrets
- In your forked repository, navigate to `Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions`.
- Create the following secrets:
| Secret Name | Description | Example Value |
|-------------|-------------|---------------|
| `AZURE_CLIENT_ID` | GUID value for the Client ID of the service principal to authenticate with | `00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000` |
| `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` | GUID value for the Subscription ID to deploy resources to | `00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000` |
| `AZURE_TENANT_ID` | GUID value for the Tenant ID of the service principal to authenticate with | `00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000` |
| `AZURE_TF_STATE_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME` | [**Optional**] For Terraform only: override value to configure the remote state resource group name | `rg-terraform-state` |
| `AZURE_TF_STATE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME` | [**Optional**] For Terraform only: override value to configure the remote state storage account name | `tfstate` |
| `AZURE_TF_STATE_STORAGE_CONTAINER_NAME` | [**Optional**] For Terraform only: override value to configure the remote state storage container name | `tfstate` |
| `ACCOUNT_NAME` | [**Optional**] The Azure DevOps organization URL or GitHub Actions account name (see Example Value column) to use when provisioning the pipeline agent on the self-hosted DevOps Agent VM | `https://dev.azure.com/ORGNAME` OR `github.com/ORGUSERNAME` OR `none` |
| `PAT` | [**Optional**] Personal Access Token for the DevOps VM to leverage on provisioning the pipeline agent on the self-hosted DevOps Agent VM | `asdf1234567` |
