Integrating Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) with Azure DevOps allows you to automate your CI/CD pipelines efficiently . In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the steps to create a service connection on Azure DevOps to authenticate with Alibaba Cloud ACK. Prerequisites Alibaba Cloud account with necessary permissions to manage ACK. Azure DevOps account. Alibaba Cloud CLI installed and configured on your local machine. Step 1: Create an Access Key in Alibaba Cloud Log in to the Alibaba Cloud Console. Navigate to the RAM (Resource Access Management) Console. Create a new RAM user with programmatic access. Attach the necessary policies to the RAM user (e.g., AliyunCSFullAccess for full access to ACK). Generate an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key for the RAM user. Save the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key securely. Step 2: Create a Service Connection in Azure DevOps Navigate to your Azure DevOps project. Go to Project Settings > Service connections. Cli...

In this blog post, we’ll walk through the process of setting up an AWS Kubernetes Service (EKS) using Azure DevOps and Terraform. We’ll cover the essential Terraform configuration files: providers.tf, main.tf, variables.tf, output.tf, and Kubernetes manifests: deployment.yaml and services.yaml. Additionally, we’ll discuss how to integrate Azure DevOps with AWS. Prerequisites AWS account with necessary permissions to create EKS clusters. Azure DevOps account. Terraform installed on your local machine. AWS CLI configured on your local machine. Step 1: Setting Up Terraform Configuration Files providers.tf This file specifies the providers required for Terraform to interact with AWS. provider "aws" { region = var.aws_region } variables.tf Define the variables used in the Terraform configuration. variable "aws_region" { description = "The AWS region to deploy resources" default = "us-west-2" } variable "cluster_name" { descript...
