Create resource group

First we need a resource group. Location is restricted to West Europe, as the Azure Open Ai is not available in other european regions.

az group create -l westeurope -n rg-dinner-finder

Deploy the environment with the following command. This will create the following resources:

Azure Container Registry (for storing the container images)
Azure Container App Environment for the services
Serverless Cosmos DB (for storing the recipes)
Azure Open AI and a gpt model
Azure Application Insights (for observability)
Azure Key Vault (for storing secrets)
Azure Service Bus (for communication between the services) The nameSuffix parameter is used to create unique names for the resources.

az deployment group create -g rg-dinner-finder -f .\env.bicep -p nameSuffix=<yourname>

Next step is to build the container images for the services and push them to the Azure Container Registry created in the previous step.

The services are deployed as containers. To build the images please refer to the Application readme.

Before this step the containers must be built. The main application is deployed with the following command:

az deployment group create -g rg-dinner-finder -f .\apps.bicep -p nameSuffix=<yourname>

This is a optional service. It is used to send recipe emails to the users. It deploys:

Email sender service (Azure Container App)
Azure Communication Services
Azure Email Service
Azure Managed Domain (For testing purposes) The service is deployed with the following command.

az deployment group create -g rg-dinner-finder -f .\email-sending.bicep -p nameSuffix=<yourname>
