Standard
When working with Terraform to deploy an infrastructure in an Azure DevOps pipeline, it is useful to use the output values in the following steps of your pipeline. Let’s see how we can achieve this easily.

StandardSonarqube is a tool for developers to track quality of a project. It provides a dashboard to view issues on a code base and integrates nicely with VSTS for analyzing pull-requests, a good way to always improve the quality on our apps.
Deploying, running and maintaining Sonarqube can however be a little troublesome. Usually, it’s done inside a VM that needs to be maintained, secured, etc. Even in Azure, a VM needs maintenance.
What if we could use the power of other cloud services to host our Sonarqube. The database could easily go inside a SQL Azure. But what about hosting the app ? Hosting in a container offering (ACS/AKS) can be a little complicated to handle (and deploying a full Kubernetes cluster for just Sonarqube is a little bit too extreme). Azure Container Instance (ACI) is quite expensive for running a container in a permanent way.
Therefore, it leaves us with WebApp for Containers, which allows us to run a container inside the context of App Service for Linux, the main interest is that everything is managed : from running and updating the host to certificate management and custom domains.
