CI/CD Container Delivery — Azure Architecture Template
Immutable images promoted from a private registry through staging to production AKS, with config, secrets and alerting separated from code.
Why this architecture works
- The same immutable image is promoted from staging to production — environments differ only by config
- App Configuration externalizes settings and feature flags so releases decouple from deployments
- Clusters pull secrets from Key Vault at runtime; nothing sensitive is baked into images or pipelines
- Staging and production are separate clusters, so soak tests can never impact live traffic
- Both environments emit to shared Log Analytics with action-group alerts gating promotion

From template to running infrastructure
- Open this template in the CloudForge visual designer (free account, no credit card).
- Customize resources, names, and connections on the drag-and-drop canvas — or ask Vani, the AI architect, to adapt it.
- Generate production-ready Terraform, ARM, or Bicep in one click.
- Review the plan diff and security scan, then deploy with human approval.
