CDN Code Deploy

The CDN Code Deploy action is a utility that simplifies the deployment of assets to a Content Delivery Network (CDN). It also provides the ability to selectively purge specific paths or perform a full purge of the CDN cache.

How It Works

The action performs the following steps:

1. Synchronizes the specified directory with the Azure Blob Storage container.
2. Optionally purges specific paths in the CDN cache if selective_purge_paths is provided.
3. If no specific paths are provided, purges the entire CDN cache.

Usage

To use the CDN Code Deploy action, create a workflow file in your repository. Below is an example configuration:

name: CDN Code Deploy

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  cdn_deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      # ...other steps, such as Azure login, can be added here...

      - name: Deploy to CDN
        uses: pagopa/dx/.github/actions/cdn-code-deploy@main
        with:
          storage_account_name: "your-storage-account-name"
          blob_container_name: "your-blob-container-name"
          resource_group_name: "your-resource-group-name"
          profile_name: "your-cdn-profile-name"
          endpoint_name: "your-cdn-endpoint-name"
          selective_purge_paths: "./path/file1 ./path/file2"
          sync_dir_name: "dist"
          working_directory: "."

When implementing this action in your repository:

1. Adjust paths - Ensure sync_dir_name and working_directory match your project structure.
2. Selective purge - Use selective_purge_paths to optimize cache purging for specific files or directories.
3. Permissions - Ensure the Azure CLI is authenticated and has the necessary permissions to access the storage account and CDN.
