This Self-Serv Action uses Azure DevOps pipeline to deploys a demo storage in Azure using terraform cloud and push the deployment info back to configure8 via API.
Create configure8 API key
We will use the configure8 public API to create a Deployment in the Catalog once the resource is created.
If you don't have a configure8 API Key, follow this guide to create a new one.
Action setup
1. Details
Go to your configure8 app into the Self Service menu. Select "+ Add Action" button.
Fill in your action Name, Type, Logo, Status and Description.
2. Context
Set your action Owners, Visibility Control, Viewers, Allowed People and Applies to fields.
3. User Input
Activate the user input toggle so that you can insert the JSON for user input.
Paste the JSON below to visualize the inputs we are asking to the user in this sample.

Set the following values:
Webhook URL:
Copy https://dev.azure.com/ORG/REPO/_apis/build/builds Change the ORG and REPO above to reflect your Azure DevOps account.
Copy {
"Authorization": "Basic Your_ADO_Token",
"Content-type": "application/json"
} Here you can find instructions on how to create such a token. Build (Read & execute) permissions should be enough.
Payload:
Copy {
"templateParameters": {
"c8ReportToken": "{{ c8ReportToken }}",
"c8ReportUrl": "https://app.configure8.io/self-service/api/v1/reports/webhook",
"tfVarOverrides": "-var storage_account_name={{ azureStorageName }} -var location={{ azureStorageLocation }}"
},
"definition": {
"id": "2"
}
}
The definition and id above can vary according to your pipeline info.
Backend setup
Create a repository or use a existing one
Create or use a repository that matches the REPO name passed on the webhook URL .
