Challenge 2: Azure App Services ❤️ Spring Boot

< Previous Challenge - Home - Next Challenge >

Introduction

So far we’ve been running the Spring Boot app locally, now it’s time to run it on Azure.

Description

Create a Web App running on an App Service instance and deploy the app. Choose a tier that allows autoscaling (will be introduced later).

Success Criteria

1. Verify the application is working by creating a new owner, a new pet and a new visit through the new webapp
2. Connect to the database through a mysql client
3. Verify that the tables include the newly created entities (owner/pet/visit)
4. No files should be modified for this challenge

Tips

It’s possible to deploy a jar file to App Service through Maven, but that would require you to change the pom file. An alternative is the ZIP deployment.
