To deploy on Azure for the first time, we've made a script for you. Here is the process:

  1. Check environment variables defined in deployment/azure_env_variables files. Set your secrets.
  2. Set your own models providers credentials in models confs files.
  3. In the script deployment/azure_deployment_script.sh, check that every names and sku fit your needs.
  4. Launch the script from deployment folder

sh azure_deployment_script.sh

You will be prompted for: - DATABASE password - Scheduler secret Other secrets are defined in environment variables files.

After the script is done, you may have to restart the services from the portal to ensure everything is up and running with full configuration. When everything is up, you can access the webapp from its url.
