Deploy Flask Machine Learning Application on Azure App Services
Deploy Flask Machine Learning Application on Azure App Services
Makefile
python3 -m venv ~/.flask-ml-azure
source ~/.flask-ml-azure/bin/activate
Run make install
Run python app.py
In a separate shell run: ./make_prediction.sh
Launch Azure Shell
Note: You make need to follow this YouTube video guide on how to setup SSH keys and configure cloudshell environment
python3 -m venv ~/.flask-ml-azure
source ~/.flask-ml-azure/bin/activate
Run make install
Create an app service and initially deploy your app in Cloud Shell
az webapp up -n <your-appservice>
https://<your-appservice>.azurewebsites.net/
You will see this output:
Change the line in make_predict_azure_app.sh
to match the deployed prediction
-X POST https://<yourappname>.azurewebsites.net:$PORT/predict
This process will create a YAML file that looks roughly like the YAML output shown below. Refer to the official Azure Pipeline YAML documentation for more information about it.
