Deploying Spring Boot Application On Azure Kubernetes Service(AKS)

Hello everyone, Hope you are doing well. This post will teach you how to deploy the spring boot application on Azure Kubernetes Service(AKS) using Azure Portal.



A little bit of Background

Azure Kubernetes Service

Azure Kubernetes Service is a managed container orchestration service based on the open-source Kubernetes system. Azure Kubernetes Service is used to handle critical functionality such as deploying, scaling and managing Docker containers and container-based applications.
The best thing about AKS is that you don’t require deep knowledge and expertise in container orchestration to manage AKS.

Azure Container Registry

Azure Container Registry allows you to build, store, and manage container images and artifacts in a private registry for all types of container deployments. Use Azure container registries with your existing container development and deployment pipelines. Use Azure Container Registry Tasks to build container images in Azure on-demand, or automate builds triggered by source code updates, updates to a container's base image, or timers.

GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions helps you automate your software development workflows from within GitHub. You can deploy workflows in the same place where you store code and collaborate on pull requests and issues. 
In GitHub Actions, a workflow is an automated process that you set up in your GitHub repository. You can build, test, package, release, or deploy any project on GitHub with a workflow. 

Spring Boot

Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based Applications that you can "just run". 



Step 1: Sign in to Azure Portal and create a resource group

Sign in to Azure portal https://portal.azure.com/#home and find "Resource groups" like below.



Then, create a resource group like the one below.


Here the resource group name is "Knowledgefactory". Create a resource group by clicking the "Review + create " button.

You will be taken to a page like the below image,
Then click on the "Create" button.



Step 2: Create a container registry using Azure Portal

Sign in to the Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com
Search for "Container registries" like the below image,

Create a container registry, 
Select the "Resource group", enter "Registry name" etc...
Then click on the "Review + create" button.

You will be taken to a page like the below image,
Then click on the "Create" button.

Now, You can see "Deployment is in progress" like the below image. 

Once deployment is completed you can see the "Your deployment is complete" page like the below image.

Next, click on "Access keys"
Copy the "Login server" value, "Username" and "Password" and keep them safe for future purposes.



Step 3: Creating a simple spring boot web application.

First, open the Spring initializr https://start.spring.io/

Then, Provide the Group and Artifact name. We have provided Group name com.knf.dev.demo and Artifact spring-boot-helloworld. Here I selected the Maven project - language Java - Spring Boot 2.7.1 and add Spring web dependency.

Then, click on the Generate button. When we click on the Generate button, it starts packing the project in a .zip(spring-boot-helloworld.zip) file and downloads the project. 
Then, Extract the Zip file.



Step 4: Import the project on your favourite IDE, I am using Visual Studio Code

Create a Test Controller

@RestController
public class GreetingController {

    @GetMapping("/hello")
    public String hello() {
        return "Hello World! Your application is running";
    }
}


Spring Boot Main Driver

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

Top 5 Java ORM tools - 2024

Image
  The term ORM refers to object-relational mapping, which uses objects to adapt programming languages to database systems while allowing them to function with SQL and object-oriented programming ideas. Any kind of database management system that can accomplish object mapping to the table in the virtual system is suitable for the implementation of ORM. Java has a wide variety of ORM tools, some of which are mentioned below: 1. Hibernate Hibernate is a lightweight, open-source, non-invasive Java ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework that allows developers to create objects that function independently of database software and create persistence logic in any Java or JavaEE application. It offers an abstraction layer, so developers don't have to bother about implementations; Hibernate handles these tasks internally, such as connecting to databases and creating queries to carry out CRUD operations, among other things. Persistence logic development is done with it. Persistence logic r

Java - DES Encryption and Decryption example

DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm is the most commonly used encryption  symmetric-key  algorithm in the world. For a long time, "cipher generation" was synonymous with DES in many people's minds. Although the Electronic Frontier Foundation recently called, it built a 220,000 machine to try to crack DES encrypted data. DES and its variant "triple data encryption algorithm" will still be widely used in government and banking. AES became the replacement for DES).   DES processes bits or binary numbers. We know that every four bits make up a hexadecimal number. DES encrypts a set of 64-bit information, which is represented by 16 hexadecimal numbers. DES also uses 64-bit long ciphers to provide encryption. However, every 8 bits in the key are ignored, resulting in a correct key length of 56 bits in DES. However, in any case, one 64-bit block is an eternal DES organization. Java DES Encryption and Decryption   import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.K
