Deploy Keycloak with Nubesgen

[ML72]

Hello!

Right now I have a Spring Boot webapp that I am able to deploy onto Azure with NubesGen. However, I am using Keycloak for identity and access management in my app, and I've been having some trouble deploying that (mostly due to issues with app service networking on Azure).

Hence, I was wondering - is it possible to deploy Keycloak along with my application via NubesGen? Or, more generically - how can I deploy two or more networked apps together by somehow modifying the terraform files created by NubesGen?

Hi @ML72 - this greatly depends on your choices: I'm guessing you are with Azure App Service, and that you are using a VNet to connect the 2 applications?
Our goal is to deploy any kind of application, and not a specific one like KeyCloak, so there wouldn't be any specific Keycloak settings in NubesGen, but that should be doable.

Thanks for the information! In that case, would deploying the Keycloak app and JHipster app separately and having them communicate over the public internet be a viable idea? Or do I have to use a VNet & put a reverse proxy in front of the apps for best security practice?

Using a VNet would be better for security, and I believe that would be free (it's more complicated to setup, but shouldn't increase the price ... if I'm correct...)

Got it, thank you so much!
