☁️ cloud_auto_deployor

cloud_auto_deployor is a Python package that simplifies end-to-end deployment of test automation projects to Azure using Docker and Azure Container Instances (ACI).
Ideal for local developers, QA teams, and CI/CD use cases.

Features

• Auto-builds Docker image from your automation project
• Pushes the image to Azure Container Registry (ACR)
• Deploys the container to Azure Container Instance (ACI)
• Automatically runs your test suite (e.g. Pytest) in the container
• No manual Azure Portal steps required

Installation

pip install cloud-auto-deployor

Make sure you have Docker and Azure CLI installed and logged in (az login).

Setup

Your test automation project should include:

demo_project/
├── Dockerfile
├── requirements.txt
├── tests/
│   └── test_example.py
├── run_tests.py           # Triggers pytest
└── config.json            # Azure details (see below)

Example config.json

{
  "resource_group": "<your_resource_group>",
  "acr_name": "<your_acr_name>",
  "image_name": "<your_image_name>",
  "image_tag": "v1",
  "container_name": "<your_container_name>",
  "location": "<your_region>"
}

Usage

From your test project root (where config.json lives), run:

python -m cloud_auto_deployor.main

What happens:

1. Reads config.json
2. Builds Docker image using your Dockerfile
3. Pushes to ACR (auto-creates if needed)
4. Deploys container instance (ACI)
5. Automatically triggers run_tests.py to run your tests
6. ✅ Results appear in Azure Portal Logs

Sample run_tests.py

import pytest
import os
import sys

def run_tests():
    sys.path.insert(0, os.getcwd())
    exit_code = pytest.main(["-vv", "tests/"])
    return exit_code

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_tests()

Uninstall / Clean Up

To remove the container:

az container delete \
  --name <your_container_name> \
  --resource-group <your_resource_group> \
  --yes

To remove the image from ACR:

az acr repository delete \
  --name <your_acr_name> \
  --image <your_image_name>:<your_image_tag> \
  --yes

Delete Entire Resource Group

az group delete --name <your_resource_group> --yes --no-wait

Explanation:
**•	--name: Name of your resource group (e.g., demo-deploy-group)
•	--yes: Auto-confirms the deletion prompt
•	--no-wait: Returns immediately without waiting for the deletion to complete (optional)**
