Azure Iot accelarator connected factory deployment

Question

I was trying to deploy the Azure IOT accelerators connected factory solution from this location- https://www.azureiotsolutions.com/Accelerators, by following MS docs-https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-accelerators/quickstart-connected-factory-deploy.

This deployment is creating public IP’s and downloading some images from market place but my Organization is not allowing the public IP’s and market place images.

I have downloaded the code from git repo- https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-connected-factory, can I publish this code from visual studio to Azure app services without creating VM and without using PowerShell script? if yes, Please let me know the steps and what configuration do I need to change.

Please help me on this.

I am from Dot net background don’t know much on power shell script.

@Devarinti Eswar Reddy thank you so much for your question in Microsoft Q&A.

Let me first ask if you looked at the most up to date documentation regarding Connected Factory aka Azure Industrial IoT?

• https://azure.github.io/Industrial-IoT/

To your question:

can I publish this code from visual studio to Azure app services without creating VM and without using PowerShell script?

I am not aware that is possible but I would suggest you ask it here as a new issue in the repo: https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-connected-factory/issues

Though you can develop and test your solution locally: https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-connected-factory/blob/master/build.ps1#L39

.EXAMPLE  
    ./build.ps1 local  
    Allocates all cloud resources, but not deploy your solution to the cloud.  
    This is to develop and test your solution locally.  

Thank you!
