Use the Azure Stream Analytics CI/CD NuGet package for integration and development

  • Článok

This article describes how to use the Azure Stream Analytics CI/CD NuGet package to set up a continuous integration and deployment process.

Use version 2.3.0000.0 or above of Stream Analytics tools for Visual Studio to get support for MSBuild.

A NuGet package is available: Microsoft.Azure.Stream Analytics.CICD. It provides the MSBuild, local run, and deployment tools that support the continuous integration and deployment process of Stream Analytics Visual Studio projects.

Note

The NuGet package can be used only with the 2.3.0000.0 or above version of Stream Analytics Tools for Visual Studio. If you have projects created in previous versions of Visual Studio tools, just open them with the 2.3.0000.0 or above version and save. Then the new capabilities are enabled.

For more information, see Stream Analytics tools for Visual Studio.

MSBuild

Like the standard Visual Studio MSBuild experience, to build a project you have two options. You can right-click the project, and then choose Build. You also can use MSBuild in the NuGet package from the command line.

./build/msbuild /t:build [Your Project Full Path] /p:CompilerTaskAssemblyFile=Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StreamAnalytics.Common.CompileService.dll  /p:ASATargetsFilePath="[NuGet Package Local Path]\build\StreamAnalytics.targets"

When a Stream Analytics Visual Studio project builds successfully, it generates the following two Azure Resource Manager template files under the bin/[Debug/Retail]/Deploy folder:

  • Resource Manager template file

    [ProjectName].JobTemplate.json

  • Resource Manager parameters file

    [ProjectName].JobTemplate.parameters.json

The default parameters in the parameters.json file are from the settings in your Visual Studio project. If you want to deploy to another environment, replace the parameters accordingly.

Note

For all the credentials, the default values are set to null. You are required to set the values before you deploy to the cloud.

"Input_EntryStream_sharedAccessPolicyKey": {
      "value": null
    },

To use Managed Identity for Azure Data Lake Store Gen2 as output sink, you need to provide Access to the service principal using PowerShell before deploying to Azure. Learn more about how to deploy ADLS Gen2 with Managed Identity with Resource Manager template.

Command-line tool

Build the project

The NuGet package has a command-line tool called SA.exe. It supports project build and local testing on an arbitrary machine, which you can use in your continuous integration and continuous delivery process.

The deployment files are placed under the current directory by default. You can specify the output path by using the following -OutputPath parameter:

./tools/SA.exe build -Project [Your Project Full Path] [-OutputPath <outputPath>]

Test the script locally

If your project has specified local input files in Visual Studio, you can run an automated script test by using the localrun command. The output result is placed under the current directory.

localrun -Project [ProjectFullPath]

Generate a job definition file to use with the Stream Analytics PowerShell API

The arm command takes the job template and job template parameter files generated through build as input. Then it combines them into a job definition JSON file that can be used with the Stream Analytics PowerShell API.

arm -JobTemplate <templateFilePath> -JobParameterFile <jobParameterFilePath> [-OutputFile <asaArmFilePath>]

Example:

./tools/SA.exe arm -JobTemplate "ProjectA.JobTemplate.json" -JobParameterFile "ProjectA.JobTemplate.parameters.json" -OutputFile "JobDefinition.json"
