Features
Draft
Draft makes it easier for developers to get started building apps that run on Kubernetes by taking a non-containerized application and generating the Dockerfiles, Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, Kustomize configuration, and other artifacts associated with a containerized application. Draft can also generate a GitHub Actions workflow file to quickly build and deploy applications onto an AKS cluster.
To get started with Draft, right click your directory in your Visual Studio Code window. The window “Run AKS DevX Tool” holds the menu for Draft. Here, you can see all the Draft commands available to you.
To properly use Draft to containerize your application, create manifest files, and deploy your application, you must use the commands in the following order:
- Create Deployment Files
- Setup GitHub OpenID Connect
- Generate Workflow.
Note: Draft currently has a dependency on Azure CLI and GitHub CLI.
Commands
Draft Create Deployment Files adds the minimum required Dockerfile and manifest files for your deployment to the project directory.
- Supported deployment types: Helm, Kustomize, Kubernetes manifest.
Draft Set Up GitHub OpenID Connect automates the GitHub OIDC setup process for your project.
Draft Generate Workflow generates a GitHub Actions workflow for automatic build and deploy to a Kubernetes cluster.
Draft Add Web App Routing Annotations annotates your Kubernetes service manifest to expose it to the internet through Web App Routing.
