Azure Resource deployment to UAT & Production Environments

Hi,

I am looking for some direction on deploying resources to different azure environments.

I am migrated a number of databases to Azure from the client on premise platform. I have also re-engineered numerous integrations using Azure Functions & Logic Apps and created numerous containers. I am now looking to investigate what are the options for moving these resources to different environments for test and production. The integrations will consists of over 100 Functions and Logic Apps.

I am considering using the ARM templates generated for each and then scripting this. We could also use Visual Studio to deploy but this feels risky when going to production.

Could someone please advise on the recommended way of achieving this?

Thanks

Mike

Hi,

Use Azure Devops multi stage pipelines (deployment) with ARM templates and other code bases you are using for various purposes in your archtiecture.

Hi Thanks for the response.

My other concern are ARM templates used for Functions and Logic Apps? Or should we deploy with Visual Studio?

We basically created these from the Azure Portal or Visual Studio initially and I wanted to understand what is the best process for moving these to a new environment for UAT or even when moving to production in Azure. We can generated the ARM Template from the resource!

Thanks
