Overview

This repository serves as an example demonstrating the deployment of a typical .NET API project to the Azure platform, utilizing Azure Web App and Azure SQL Server.

Deploying a C# API Project to Azure with Azure SQL Server

Step 1: Creating Azure SQL Server

1. Sign in to Azure Portal:

   • Go to Azure Portal.
   • Sign in with your Azure account.

2. Create a new SQL Database resource:

   • Click on "Create a resource" in the top-left corner.
   • Search for "SQL Database" and select it.
   • Click "Create" to begin setting up a new SQL database.

3. Fill in the basic settings:

   • Choose your subscription and create a new resource group.
   • Specify the database name, region, and pricing tier.

4. Configure server parameters:

   • Create a new SQL server by selecting "Create New".
   • Provide a server name, administrative login, and password for the server.

5. Additional settings:

   • Configure security, backup, and scaling options as needed.
   • Click "Review + create" to finalize setup and create the SQL database.

Step 2: Obtaining Connection String

1. Navigate to your SQL database:

   • After creating the SQL database, go to its resource in the Azure portal.

2. Get the connection string:

   • In the "Settings" section, select "Connection strings".
   • Copy the ADO.NET connection string or any other suitable connection type.

3. Set connection string

   • after the copy, you should set this connection string in appsettings.json

     "ConnectionStrings": {
       "AzureSql": "enter your connection string azure"
     }

Step 3: Deploying API Project to Azure

1. Prepare your project:

   • Ensure your API project is configured to work with the SQL Server database.

2. Deploy the project to Azure:

   • Return to the Azure portal and select your Azure Web App resource.
   • In the "Deployment Center", choose your preferred deployment method (e.g., GitHub, Azure DevOps, FTP, etc.).
   • Configure the deployment parameters, including specifying your API project repository.

3. Complete the deployment:

   • Start the deployment process and wait for it to complete.
   • After successful deployment, your API project will be accessible via the URL of your Azure Web App.
