Provision cloud resources

Artikel
03/13/2024

TeamsFx integrates with Azure and the Microsoft 365 cloud, which allows to place your app in Azure with a single command. TeamsFx integrates with Azure Resource Manager (ARM), which enables to provision Azure resources that your application needs for code approach.

Provision using Microsoft Teams Toolkit in Microsoft Visual Studio Code

You can trigger the provision command in Teams Toolkit or TeamsFx CLI to create or update resources for your application. The steps of the provision command are defined in the teamsapp.yml file, under provision property. You can view the file to understand what resources are created.

Note

Azure services incur costs in your subscription. For more information on cost estimation, see pricing calculator.

Customize resource provision

The provision steps are defined in teamsapp.yml file, under provision property. You can add, remove, or update actions to the provision property to define the expected actions you want to do during provision.

Reference environment variables in parameter files

Teams Toolkit supports referencing the values from environment variables in teamsapp.yml, app manifest, Microsoft Entra app manifest, and Azure parameter files. You can use syntax ${{ENV_VARIABLE_NAME}} to reference environment variables.

The following example sets the value of environment variable MY_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID to subscriptionId:

subscriptionId: ${{MY_AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID}}

Customize ARM template files

If the predefined templates don't meet your app requirements, you can create your own ARM template or update existing ARM template and provide the path to arm/deploy action as in the following template:

- uses: arm/deploy
    with:
      subscriptionId: ${{AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID}}
      resourceGroupName: ${{AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME}}
      templates:
      - path: <path-to-your-arm-template>
        parameters: <path-to-your-parameter-file>
        deploymentName: <arm-deployment-name>
      bicepCliVersion: <bicep-cli-version>

The arm/deploy action support ARM templates written in bicep and json format. If you use json format, you can omit the bicepCliVersion parameter. You need to have basic knowledge of Azure Resource Manager. You can get started with Azure Resource Manager at Azure Resource Manager documentation.

Customize Teams apps

You can customize your bot or the Teams app by adding environment variables to use a Microsoft Entra app created by you. Perform the following ways to customize the Teams app:

Use an existing Microsoft Entra app for your Teams app
Use an existing Microsoft Entra app for your bot

Use an existing Microsoft Entra app for your Teams app

You can follow the steps to add environment variables to the .env files to use a Microsoft Entra app created for your Teams app. If you don't have a Microsoft Entra app yet or you already have one but don't know where to find the correct value, see how to use existing Microsoft Entra app in TeamsFx project.

Open teamsapp.yml and find the aadApp/create action.

Find the environment variable names that store information for Microsoft Entra app in the writeToEnvironmentFile property. The default writeToenvironmentFile definition if you create projects using Teams Toolkit is as follows:

 writeToEnvironmentFile:
  clientId: AAD_APP_CLIENT_ID
  clientSecret: SECRET_AAD_APP_CLIENT_SECRET
  objectId: AAD_APP_OBJECT_ID
  tenantId: AAD_APP_TENANT_ID
  authority: AAD_APP_OAUTH_AUTHORITY
  authorityHost: AAD_APP_OAUTH_AUTHORITY_HOST

Add values for each environment variable from step 2.

Add the following environment variables and their values to env\.env.{env} file.

 AAD_APP_CLIENT_ID=<value of Microsoft Entra application's client id (application id)> # example: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
 AAD_APP_OBJECT_ID=<value of Microsoft Entra application's object id> # example: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
 AAD_APP_TENANT_ID=<value of Microsoft Entra's tenant id>> # example: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
 AAD_APP_OAUTH_AUTHORITY=<value of Microsoft Entra's authority> # example: https://login.microsoftonline.com/<Directory (tenant) ID>
 AAD_APP_OAUTH_AUTHORITY_HOST=<host of Microsoft Entra's authority> # example: https://login.microsoftonline.com
 AAD_APP_ACCESS_AS_USER_PERMISSION_ID=<id of access_as_user permission> # example: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

If your application requires a Microsoft Entra app client secret, add the following environment variable and its value to env\.env.{env}.user file.
```
SECRET_AAD_APP_CLIENT_SECRET=<value of Microsoft Entra application's client secret>
```

Note

Remember to update the environment variable names in the examples if you use different names in writeToEnvironmentFile.
If you don't use aadApp/create action to create Microsoft Entra application, you can add necessary environment variables with your preferred name without following above steps.
Ensure not to share the same Microsoft Entra app in multiple environments.

Use an existing Microsoft Entra app for your bot

You can follow the steps to add environment variables to the .env files to use a Microsoft Entra app created for your Teams app. If you don't have a Microsoft Entra app for your bot yet or you already have one but don't know where to find the correct values, see Use existing Microsoft Entra app in TeamsFx project.

Open teamsapp.yml and find the botAadApp/create action.
Find the environment variable names that store information for Microsoft Entra app in the writeToEnvironmentFile property. The default writeToEnvironmentFile definition if you create projects using Teams Toolkit is as follows:
```
 writeToEnvironmentFile:
   botId: BOT_ID
   botPassword: SECRET_BOT_PASSWORD
```

Add values for each environment variable from step 2.

Add the following environment variable and its value to env\.env.{env} file.

BOT_ID=<value of Microsoft Entra application's client id (application id)> # example: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Add the following environment variable and its value to env\.env.{env}.user file.
```
SECRET_BOT_PASSWORD=<value of Microsoft Entra application's client secret>
```

Note

Remember to update the environment variable names in the examples if you use different names in writeToEnvironmentFile.
If you don't use botAadApp/create action to create Microsoft Entra application, you can add necessary environment variables with your preferred name without following above steps.
Ensure not to share the same Microsoft Entra app in multiple environments.
