READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR PROJECT
Then use it along with the Microservice Tutorial Instructions.

1. Navigate to the Microservice Tutorial to complete this project.
2. On the “Intro” page of .NET Tutorial – Your First Microservice, select Linux. Complete all steps for the Linux operating system.
3. On the Install .NET SDK page, use the following link instead of the one in the tutorial:

4. Select the 20.04 distribution, scroll down to Add the Microsoft Package Repository, and run the wget command for .NET 8.
5. Install the SDK.
6. Return to the tutorial and verify that everything installed correctly. (You do not need to install the runtime.)
7. Follow the directions in the tutorial to Create your service.
8. Then Run your service.
9. Take a screenshot of your browser results showing the weather forecast data of your application. Be sure to include the URL in your screenshot.
   • Label this screenshot: 1-Running the Service
10. Underneath the screenshot, answer the following question:

    What port was your application listening on?

11. Check your Docker version with:

    docker --version

    • If your version is less than 23.0.0, skip the "Download and install" section in the tutorial and instead run:

    curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
    sudo sh get-docker.sh

12. After updating Docker, verify the Docker version again (it should now be higher than 23.0.x).
13. Return to the tutorial and make sure the Linux tab is selected.
14. In the section Add Docker Metadata, follow the instructions.
    • You may use nano instead of touch to create the Dockerfile:

    nano Dockerfile
    

    • Press Ctrl + S, then Ctrl + X to save and exit.
15. Complete the steps for Optional: Add a .dockerignore file.
16. Follow the tutorial instructions to Create Docker image and Run Docker image.
17. Take a screenshot of your application running in the container (include the URL).
    • Label this screenshot: 2-Running the Docker image

⚠️ You will need a Docker Hub account and an Azure subscription.
Make sure you have set up your Azure for Students free account if you haven't already.

Important: Always ensure the Linux tab is selected when completing steps.

1. Follow the instructions to Push to Docker Hub.
2. In the section Setup Azure Tools, skip "Create an Azure Account". (You should already have an Azure for Students account.)
3. Click Install the Azure CLI.
   • In the article "How to install the Azure CLI", select Install on Ubuntu/Debian with apt.
4. On the "Install the Azure CLI" page:
   • Scroll down and select Option 1 - Install with one command, then upgrade the CLI with:

   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

5. Return to the tutorial and follow the instructions to Sign in to Azure using your personal email (the one linked to Azure).
6. Use the sudo command to install the AKS CLI.
   • If you get an error "MissingSubscriptionRegistration", run:

   az provider register --namespace Microsoft.ContainerService

7. Follow the instructions to Create Azure Resources.
8. In the Deploy to Azure section, use nano to create the deploy.yaml file.
9. Run the deployment and Test your deployment service.
10. Take a screenshot of your browser results showing the weather forecast data.
    • Label this screenshot: 3 – Deployed Service
11. Scale your service.
12. Display the pods with:

    kubectl get pods -o wide

    • Take a screenshot of the results.
      Label it: 4 - Scaled Application

13. In a browser window, navigate to Azure Portal.
14. In the blue search box, type Kubernetes Service.
15. Click on MyMicroServiceCluster.
16. On the left menu under Kubernetes Resources, click Workloads and observe the results.
    • Take a screenshot of this page.
      Label it: 5 – Kubernetes Resources in Azure

You have created a microservice, containerized it, and deployed it to the cloud!
