Azure Account
Stoarge account

Create a stateless workflow locally in Visual Studio Code

I am using VS Code for developing Azure Logic App Standard.

It will create a skeleton of workflow

UseDevelopmentStorage=true property lets us run logic apps locally using Azure Storage Emulator.

Right click on the workflow.json file and select open in Designer to view the workflow designer

Select Run->Start Debugging or F5 to start the logic apps locally, finally the execution displays the following to show the logic apps is up and running.

Add a docker file to your project as below named “DockerFile”.

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/azure-functions/node:3.0
ENV AzureWebJobsStorage DefaultEndpointsProtocol=<BlobStorageConnectionString>
ENV AzureWebJobsScriptRoot=/home/site/wwwroot AzureFunctionsJobHost__Logging__Console__IsEnabled=true FUNCTIONS_V2_COMPATIBILITY_MODE=true
ENV WEBSITE_HOSTNAME localhost
ENV WEBSITE_SITE_NAME weatherforecast
ENV AZURE_FUNCTIONS_ENVIRONMENT Development
COPY . /home/site/wwwroot

And modify the local.settings.json to have the storage account as the

Build the docker container image by using the docker file by running the below command

Make sure to tag like .azurecr.io\imagename to push image into ACR

docker build --tag <ImageName> .

Run the container locally by using the below command

docker run -p 8080:80 <ImageName>

You can see images and instances in Docker extension

Navigate to the Azure storage account provided in the docker definition and open blob containers. You will see the following folders

Push Docker Image to Azure Container Registry

Create Azure Container registry manually on Azure Portal

Enable Access key to login into ACR

This helps to login into acr and push images

How to create Docker Image of Azure Logic App Standard

Login into Docker Registry

docker login laacr.azurecr.io

Tag and Push Image to ACR

Use docker tag to create an alias of the image with the fully qualified path to your registry.

docker tag laimage laacr.azurecr.io/laimage

docker push laacr.azurecr.io/laimage

Create Azure Kubernetes cluster - AKS

Link ACR with AKS

az aks update -n laaks -g acr --attach-acr laacr

Deploy Logic App Image from ACR into AKS

Go to AKS - >

Fetch logic app URL using callback URL

Fetch master key from blob storage which will help in fetching callback URL

How to create Docker Image of Azure Logic App Standard

Fetch callback URL using URL
