How to Run the Solution in Azure

Introduction

This document describes the resources that must be created and configured to run the solution in Azure. This includes:

• App Registrations for authentication in different components in Azure AD tenant:
  • App Registrations:
    • Bot Service API.
    • Bot Service Client.
    • Management API.
    • Azure SDK Service Principal.
  • Security Group.
• Resource groups used to deploy and configure the solution:
  • Architecture resource group:
    • Application Insights.
    • Storage account.
    • Cosmos DB.
    • App Service Plan.
    • Web App.
    • Function App.
  • Virtual Machine resource group:
    • Virtual Machine.
    • Event Grid.
• Components Deployment:
  • Deploy the Bot Service into the Virtual Machine.
  • Deploy the Web App into the Azure App Service.
  • Deploy the Function App into the Azure Function App Service.
• Testing the environment:
  • How to configure/register the Service.
  • How to test the Management API
  • How to test the Orchestrator Function

General prerequisites

Before deploying the solution in Azure, please make sure you have the all the prerequisites listed in Prerequisites.

Also, if you haven't already, make sure you have setup your Azure Bot too.

App Registrations for authentication in different components in Azure AD tenant

To secure and connect several of the resources used for the solution, we need to create several app registrations, each with its own permissions and settings. Several of the following instructions include creating application credentials. We recommend creating a Key Vault resource in Azure to store these credentials securely. We also recommend keeping track of the application IDs generated for each app registration to simplify the configuration of the applications during the project.

• App Registrations.
• Security Group.

Resources used to deploy and configure the solution:

Resource Groups

To prepare the cloud environment, we need to create multiple resources which must be separated according to the different components of the solution. For that, it is necessary to create two resource groups, both in the same region (e.g., West US 2).

• resource-group-name-bot: This group will contain the rest of the resources related to the APIs, functions, database, and web UI used to operate the solution.

• resource-group-name-bot-vm: This group will be used to contain the resources related to the virtual machine that will host the core components of the application in Azure.

NOTE: It is suggested that resource-group-name be replaced by a name in line with the project.

To create the resource groups, check the Create resource groups documentation.

Architecture resource group

The following resources are used to manage the application and the bot. All these resources should be created in the resource-group-name-bot resource group:

• Application Insights.
• Storage account.
• Cosmos DB.
• Web App and App service plan.
• Function App and App service plan.

Virtual Machine resource group

The following resources form the core part of the solution, which is charge of connecting to the call and extract and inject the media feeds from the Teams Meeting call. All these resources should be created in the resource-group-name-bot-vm resource group. The app registration that was created to manage the state of the VM must be given access to this resource group with the Contributor role. This can be done in the Access control (IAM) menu of the resource group.

• Virtual Machine.
• Event Grid.
