How to upload Docker Images into Azure Container Registry using Azure Pipelines | Automate Docker builds using Azure Pipelines | Upload Docker Image into Azure Container Registry (ACR)

We will learn how to build Docker image and upload the Docker images into Azure Container Registry(ACR) using Azure Build pipelines.

Pre-requisites:

1. ACR is setup in Azure cloud. (see below for the steps)

2. Already created Azure DevOps dashboard in 

https://dev.azure.com/

3. Dockerfile created along with the application source code

How to Create Azure Container Registry?

4. Click on use the classic editor

Enter your repo name and branch name where you have stored your source code along with Dockerfile

Click on Continue. Now choose the template by typing Docker, Select Docker container and Apply.

 

Now pipeline is created with two tasks already. Now we need to customize it.

Let's modify Build an image task. Choose azure subscription and enter Microsoft credentials and select ACR repo from the drop down

Select Push an image task and select Azure subscription and select ACR repo from the drop down

Add a task for Copying YAML file, enter the Kubernetes deployment YAML file

Add Publish artifact task

Now click Save + Queue and run to start Building the pipeline

Once the build is completed, you should be able to see the Docker images under 

Services --> Repositories
