Introduction Features Architecture Prerequisites Setup Usage Security Considerations Contributing License Contact
Introduction This repository contains a comprehensive DevSecOps pipeline for deploying and managing applications on Microsoft Azure. The pipeline integrates security practices into the DevOps process, ensuring that security is a core component of the development lifecycle. Features
Automated CI/CD Pipelines: Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment using Azure DevOps. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Deployment of Azure resources using ARM templates or Terraform. Security Integration: Incorporation of security tools and practices, such as static code analysis, vulnerability scanning, and compliance checks. Monitoring and Logging: Implementation of Azure Monitor and Log Analytics for real-time monitoring and logging. Policy Enforcement: Use of Azure Policy to enforce security and compliance policies.
**Architecture
The architecture includes:**
Source Control: GitHub repository for source code and pipeline definitions. CI/CD Pipeline: Azure DevOps for building, testing, and deploying applications. Infrastructure: Azure resources provisioned using IaC. Security Tools: Integration with security tools for code analysis, vulnerability scanning, and compliance checks. Monitoring: Azure Monitor and Log Analytics for monitoring and logging.

Prerequisites
Azure Subscription Azure DevOps Account GitHub Account Azure CLI Terraform (if using Terraform for IaC)
Setup
Clone the Repository Bashgit clone .git cd devsecops-azure
Configure Azure DevOps
Create a new project in Azure DevOps. Import the repository into Azure DevOps Repos. Set up service connections for Azure and GitHub.
Set Up Infrastructure
If using ARM templates:Bashaz deployment group create --resource-group yourResourceGroup --template-file azuredeploy.json
If using Terraform:Bashterraform init terraform apply
Configure Pipelines
Import the provided YAML pipeline definitions into Azure Pipelines. Customize the pipeline configurations as needed.
Usage
Trigger a Build
Push changes to the repository to trigger the CI/CD pipeline. Monitor the pipeline execution in Azure DevOps.
Deploy Application
The pipeline will automatically deploy the application to Azure. Verify the deployment through the Azure portal.
Monitor and Maintain
Use Azure Monitor and Log Analytics to monitor application performance and security. Regularly review and update security policies and compliance checks.
Security Considerations
Ensure that all secrets and sensitive information are stored securely using Azure Key Vault. Regularly update dependencies and security tools to mitigate vulnerabilities. Implement least privilege access controls for Azure resources and DevOps pipelines.
Contributing We welcome contributions to improve this project. Please follow these steps to contribute:
Fork the repository. Create a new branch (git checkout -b feature/your-feature). Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add new feature'). Push to the branch (git push origin feature/your-feature). Create a new Pull Request.
