Create a New Application Service

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a new application service using the MSDN portal. Application services are the backbone of your cloud-native applications, allowing you to deploy, manage, and scale your workloads efficiently.

Prerequisites

• An active MSDN account with appropriate permissions.
• A defined project or application that the service will support.
• Basic understanding of cloud deployment concepts.

Steps to Create an Application Service

Follow these steps to provision a new application service:

1. Navigate to the Services Dashboard

   Log in to your MSDN portal. From the main dashboard, locate and click on the "Application Services" section in the left-hand navigation menu.

2. Initiate Service Creation

   On the Application Services page, you will see a list of your existing services. Click the "+ New Service" button, typically located at the top right of the service list.

3. Configure Service Details

   You will be presented with a form to configure your new service. Fill in the following details:

   Service Name: Service Type: -- Select Service Type -- Web Application API Gateway Microservice Batch Job Container Orchestration Region: -- Select Deployment Region -- US East (N. Virginia) US West (Oregon) Europe (Frankfurt) Asia Pacific (Singapore) Deployment Target: Automatic (Recommended) Kubernetes Cluster VM Scale Set Description (Optional):

   Create Service

4. Review and Confirm

   After filling out the form, carefully review all the entered details. If everything is correct, click the "Create Service" button. The system will then begin provisioning your new application service.

5. Monitor Deployment

   You will be redirected to a deployment status page where you can monitor the progress of your service creation. This may take a few minutes, depending on the selected service type and region.

Advanced Configuration Options

For more complex deployments, you can explore advanced options such as:

• Custom resource allocation (CPU, Memory).
• Networking configurations (VPCs, subnets, security groups).
• Integration with CI/CD pipelines.
• Monitoring and logging setup.

These options are typically available after the initial service creation or within the service's detailed settings page.

For detailed information on specific service types and their configurations, please refer to the API Reference and the documentation for individual service types.
