Let me explain each part of YAML Pipeline for better understanding.

PART #1:-

BELOW FOLLOWS PIPELINE RUNTIME VARIABLES CODE SNIPPET:-

######################
#DECLARE PARAMETERS:-
######################
parameters:
- name: SubscriptionID
  displayName: Please Provide the Subscription ID:-
  type: object
  default: 210e66cb-55cf-424e-8daa-6cad804ab604

- name: ServiceConnection
  displayName: Please Provide the Service Connection Name:-
  default: amcloud-cicd-service-connection
  values:
  - amcloud-cicd-service-connection

- name: RGName
  displayName: Please Provide the Name of the Resource Group:-

- name: RGLocation
  displayName: Please Provide Location of Resource Group:-
  default: WestEurope
  values:
  - WestEurope

- name: validateIfRGExists
  displayName: Does the provided Resource Group Exists or do we create ?
  default: Existing
  values:
  - Existing
  - New

- name: ACIName
  displayName: Please Provide the Name of the Azure Container Instance:-
  type: object
  default: am-poc-sonarqube-aci

THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS WHEN YOU EXECUTE THE PIPELINE FROM AZURE DEVOPS:-

NOTE:-

Please feel free to change the name of the RESOURCE GROUP NAME and the NAME OF THE AZURE CONTAINER INSTANCE.

PART #2:-

BELOW FOLLOWS PIPELINE VARIABLES CODE SNIPPET:-

######################
#DECLARE VARIABLES:-
######################
variables:
  Artifact: AM
  cpu: 2 
  memory: 3.5
  port: 9000

NOTE:-

Please feel free to change the values of the variables.
The entire YAML pipeline is build using Parameters and variables. No Values are Hardcoded.

PART #3:-

PIPELINE STAGES:-
There are 2 Stages in the Pipeline 1) When User selects "EXISTING" Pipeline Runtime Environment 2) When User selects "NEW" Pipeline Runtime Environment
Pipeline Stage gets SKIPPED or EXECUTED based on the User Choice

BELOW FOLLOWS PIPELINE STAGE "EXISTING" CODE SNIPPET:-

PART #4:-

PIPELINE STAGE VALIDATE_SELECTION_EXISTING CONDITIONS:-

##	CONDITIONS APPLIED
1.	When User selects "Existing" Pipeline Runtime Environment, it means that the mentioned RESOURCE GROUP (RG) Exists in the Subscription.
2.	Pipeline when executed first validates if RG Exists.
3.	If RG EXISTS, it will then validate if the mentioned Azure Container Instance (ACI), provided using Pipeline Runtime Variables exists. If ACI exists, No Action to be Taken. If ACI does not Exists, Deploy ACI with SonarQube Image
4.	If RG DOES NOT EXISTS, it will first deploy RG and then ACI with SonarQube Image

PART #5:-

PIPELINE STAGE VALIDATE_SELECTION_NEW CONDITIONS:-

##	CONDITIONS APPLIED
1.	When User selects "New" Pipeline Runtime Environment, it means that the mentioned RESOURCE GROUP (RG) does not Exists in the Subscription.
2.	Pipeline when executed first validates if RG Exists.
3.	If RG EXISTS, it will then validate if the mentioned Azure Container Instance (ACI), provided using Pipeline Runtime Variables exists. If ACI exists, No Action to be Taken. If ACI does not Exists, Deploy ACI with SonarQube Image
4.	If RG DOES NOT EXISTS, it will first deploy RG and then ACI with SonarQube Image

PART #6:-

VALIDATE THE YAML DEPLOYMENT WITH BELOW TEST CASES.

TEST CASE #1: SELECT "NEW" (There is No RG and ACI with SonarQube Image):-
Desired Output: RG + ACI with SonarQube Image Gets Deployed.
PIPELINE VARIABLES:

PIPELINE RESULTS:


SonarQube URL: http://am-poc-sonarqube-aci.westeurope.azurecontainer.io:9000/

TEST CASE #2: SELECT "EXISTING" (RG and ACI with SonarQube Image already Exists):-
Desired Output: No Action Performed.
PIPELINE VARIABLES:

PIPELINE RESULTS:



SonarQube URL: http://am-poc-sonarqube-aci.westeurope.azurecontainer.io:9000/

TEST CASE #3: SELECT "NEW" (RG and ACI with SonarQube Image already Exists):-
Desired Output: No Action Performed.
PIPELINE VARIABLES:

PIPELINE RESULTS:



SonarQube URL: http://am-poc-sonarqube-aci.westeurope.azurecontainer.io:9000/

TEST CASE #4: SELECT "EXISTING" (RG Exists but there is No ACI with SonarQube Image):-
Desired Output: ACI with SonarQube Image gets Deployed Only.
PIPELINE VARIABLES:

PIPELINE RESULTS:



SonarQube URL: http://am-poc-sonarqube-aci.westeurope.azurecontainer.io:9000/

TEST CASE #5: SELECT "NEW" (RG Exists but there is No ACI with SonarQube Image):-
Desired Output: ACI with SonarQube Image gets Deployed Only.
PIPELINE VARIABLES:

PIPELINE RESULTS:



SonarQube URL: http://am-poc-sonarqube-aci.westeurope.azurecontainer.io:9000/
