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.

] 4. Method
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 .
