Production release

In this tutorial we only create production release for the West EU region. Cross region deployment should be applied in the same manner.

Prerequisites

• Release for Staging environment working as expected
• Infrastructure created on Production
• All required configuration is available for Production environment

Steps

1. Open azure-pipeline-release.yml and add following section replacing “clientname” with [yourclientname] keeping same casing:

- stage: prodrelease
  displayName: Release Production
  - group: 'Connection Strings - Production'
  - group: 'ClientName Variables - Production'
  dependsOn: stagingrelease
  jobs:
  - template: Pipelines/TaskGroups/release-netcore-v2-with-tests.yml@templates
    parameters:
      environment: 'prod'
      location: 'westeurope'
      appService: 'poq-clientName-prod-weu-app'
      appServiceResourceGroup: 'poq-clientName-prod-weu-rg'
      azureServiceConnection: 'poq-clientName (poq-clientName-vsts-sp)'
      isFunctionApp: 'false'
      postmanCollectionId: ${{ parameters.postmanCollectionId }}
      postmanEnvironmentId: ${{ parameters.postmanEnvironmentId }}

For client name Yourbrand section will look like this:

- stage: prodrelease
  displayName: Release Production
  - group: 'Connection Strings - Production'
  - group: 'YourBrand Variables - Production'
  dependsOn: stagingrelease
  jobs:
  - template: Pipelines/TaskGroups/release-netcore-v2-with-tests.yml@templates
    parameters:
      environment: 'prod'
      location: 'westeurope'
      appService: 'poq-yourbrand-prod-weu-app'
      appServiceResourceGroup: 'poq-yourbrand-prod-weu-rg'
      azureServiceConnection: 'poq-yourbrand (poq-yourbrand-vsts-sp)'
      isFunctionApp: 'false'
      postmanCollectionId: ${{ parameters.postmanCollectionId }}
      postmanEnvironmentId: ${{ parameters.postmanEnvironmentId }}

2. Create Variable Group “[YourClientName] - Production” and add following values to it:
   1. Apps.[appIdentifier].Sfcc.ClientId : [OcapiClientIdValue]
3. Create Variable Group “ConnectionStrings - Staging” and add following values to it:
   1. Redis.ConnectionString : [RedisConnectionStringValue]
4. Create and submit PR for BFC API
5. Merge the PR
6. Code should be released up to Dev automatically
7. Approve Staging release
8. Make sure that Staging Release completes successfully
9. Approve Production release
10. Make sure that Production Release completes successfully
