Azure Pipeline to Build Docker image for a Springboot Microservice & Push Docker Image into AWS ECR

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Building and Pushing a Docker Image using Azure Pipeline and AWS ECR

1. Setting Up Azure DevOps Account and AWS Toolkit:

   • Ensure you have an Azure DevOps account set up.
   • Install the AWS toolkit for Azure DevOps from the Azure DevOps marketplace.

2. Creating a Spring Boot Application and GitHub Service Connection:

   • Set up your Spring Boot application and host the source code on GitHub.
   • Create a service connection in Azure DevOps to authenticate with GitHub.

3. Creating an Amazon ECR Repository and IAM User:

   • Create a repository in Amazon ECR for your Spring Boot app.
   • Create an IAM user in AWS with permissions to push images to ECR.

4. Generating Access Keys for AWS Authentication:

   • Generate access keys for the IAM user in the AWS Management Console.

5. Creating a Service Connection in Azure DevOps:

   • Add a new service connection in Azure DevOps for AWS using the generated access keys.

6. Setting Up the Azure DevOps Pipeline:

   • Create a new pipeline in Azure DevOps.
   • Select your GitHub repository and branch.
   • Choose a template for building and pushing a Docker image.

7. Configuring Pipeline Tasks:

   • Set the agent to Ubuntu latest for building the Docker image.
   • Define variables for the image name and repository name.
   • Add tasks for building the JAR file using Maven, building the Docker image, and pushing the image to ECR.

8. Building and Pushing the Docker Image:

   • Customize the tasks to include necessary configurations like image tagging and repository details.
   • Save the pipeline configuration and run the pipeline to build and push the Docker image.

9. Verifying the Docker Image in AWS ECR:

   • Check the Azure DevOps pipeline logs to ensure successful image building and pushing.
   • Verify in the AWS ECR console that the Docker image has been pushed successfully.

10. Completion and Verification:

• Confirm that the Docker image for your Spring Boot application has been successfully built and pushed to AWS ECR using the Azure DevOps pipeline.

By following these steps, you can effectively create a pipeline to build a Docker image for your Spring Boot application and push it to Amazon ECR using Azure DevOps.
