This directory contains the Bicep template and a deployment script for provisioning Azure services in LocalStack for Azure. Refer to the Azure Web App with Azure SQL Database guide for details about the sample application.
Before deploying this solution, ensure you have the following tools installed:
- LocalStack for Azure: Local Azure cloud emulator for development and testing
- Visual Studio Code: Code editor installed on one of the supported platforms
- Bicep extension: VS Code extension for Bicep language support and IntelliSense
- Docker: Container runtime required for LocalStack
- Azure CLI: Azure command-line interface
- azlocal CLI: LocalStack Azure CLI wrapper
- Python: Python runtime (version 3.12 or above)
- jq: JSON processor for scripting and parsing command outputs
The deploy.sh Bash script uses the azlocal CLI instead of the standard Azure CLI to work with LocalStack. Install it using:
pip install azlocalFor more information, see Get started with the az tool on LocalStack.
The deploy.sh script creates the Azure Resource Group for all the Azure resources, while the main.bicep Bicep module creates the following Azure resources:
- Azure SQL Server: Logical server hosting one or more Azure SQL Databases.
- Azure SQL Database: The
PlannerDBdatabase storing relational vacation activity data. - Azure App Service Plan: The compute resource that hosts the web application.
- Azure Web App: Hosts the Python Flask single-page application (Vacation Planner), connected to Azure SQL Database.
- App Service Source Control: (Optional) Configures automatic deployment from a public GitHub repository.
- Azure Key Vault: Stores the SQL connection string in a secret.
The web app allows users to plan and manage vacation activities, storing all activity data in the Activities table in the PlannerDB database. For more information, see Azure Web App with Azure SQL Database.
You can set up the Azure emulator by utilizing LocalStack for Azure Docker image. Before starting, ensure you have a valid LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN to access the Azure emulator. Refer to the Auth Token guide to obtain your Auth Token and specify it in the LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable. The Azure Docker image is available on the LocalStack Docker Hub. To pull the Azure Docker image, execute the following command:
docker pull localstack/localstack-azure-alphaStart the LocalStack Azure emulator using the localstack CLI, execute the following command:
# Set the authentication token
export LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN=<your_auth_token>
# Start the LocalStack Azure emulator
IMAGE_NAME=localstack/localstack-azure-alpha localstack start -d
localstack wait -t 60
# Route all Azure CLI calls to the LocalStack Azure emulator
azlocal start-interceptionNavigate to the bicep folder:
cd samples/web-app-sql-database/python/bicepMake the script executable:
chmod +x deploy.shRun the deployment script:
./deploy.shAfter deployment, you can use the validate.sh script to verify that all resources were created and configured correctly:
#!/bin/bash
# Variables
# Check resource group
az group show \
--name local-rg \
--output table
# List resources
az resource list \
--resource-group local-rg \
--output table
# Check Azure Web App
az webapp show \
--name local-webapp-test \
--resource-group local-rg \
--output table
# Check Azure SQL Server
az sql server show \
--name local-sqlserver-test \
--resource-group local-rg \
--output table
# Check Azure SQL Database
az sql db show \
--name PlannerDB \
--server local-sqlserver-test \
--resource-group local-rg \
--output tableTo destroy all created resources:
# Delete resource group and all contained resources
az group delete --name local-rg --yes --no-wait
# Verify deletion
az group list --output tableThis will remove all Azure resources created by the CLI deployment script.
