| 11 | +----------------------------- |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +> This scenario is intended to demonstrate rapid temporary file accumulation and disk degradation in Azure Functions. |
| 14 | +
|
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Infrastructure Setup |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +- **App Service Plan (Windows)** - P1v3 tier for high-load testing |
| 19 | + - See: [./terraform-infrastructure/variables.tf](./terraform-infrastructure/variables.tf) (lines 12-21) |
| 20 | + - See: [./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf](./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf) (lines 35-45) |
| 21 | +- **Deployment Method**: Standard deployment (extracted .zip) |
| 22 | + - See: [./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf](./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf) (line 115) |
| 23 | + ```terraform |
| 24 | + # Force standard deployment instead of mounted package |
| 25 | + "WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE" = "0" |
| 26 | + ``` |
| 27 | +- **Application Insights**: Full logging (no sampling) |
| 28 | + - See: [./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf](./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf) (lines 47-56) |
| 29 | + ```terraform |
| 30 | + # No sampling configured - full logging |
| 31 | + sampling_percentage = 100 |
| 32 | + ``` |
| 33 | +- **Verbose Diagnostics**: Enabled |
| 34 | + - See: [./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf](./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf) (line 118) |
| 35 | + ```terraform |
| 36 | + # Enable full diagnostics |
| 37 | + "WEBSITE_ENABLE_DETAILED_DIAGNOSTICS" = "true" |
| 38 | + ``` |
| 39 | +- **Storage Logging**: Enabled |
| 40 | + - See: [./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf](./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf) (line 124) |
| 41 | + ```terraform |
| 42 | + # Log to storage account (increases I/O operations) |
| 43 | + "AzureWebJobsDashboard" = azurerm_storage_account.storage.primary_connection_string |
| 44 | + ``` |
| 45 | +- **WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE**: Disabled (set to "0") |
| 46 | + - See: [./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf](./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf) (line 115) |
| 47 | +- **Key Vault Integration**: Secrets stored in Azure Key Vault |
| 48 | + - See: [./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf](./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf) (lines 147-193) |
| 49 | +- **Managed Identity**: System-assigned identity for Key Vault access |
| 50 | + - See: [./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf](./terraform-infrastructure/main.tf) (lines 96-98) |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## Expected Results |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +- Rapid temp file accumulation in `C:\local\Temp` |
| 55 | +- Disk decay within 1-2 days |
| 56 | +- Restart clears only partial space due to locked files |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +## Deployment Instructions |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +> For detailed deployment instructions including VS Code deployment and Azure DevOps pipeline samples, see the [DEPLOYMENT.md](./DEPLOYMENT.md) guide. |
| 61 | +
|
| 62 | +1. Go to the terraform-infrastructure directory: |
| 63 | + ``` |
| 64 | + cd scenario-1-high-decay/terraform-infrastructure |
| 65 | + ``` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +2. Update the `terraform.tfvars` file with your Azure subscription ID and preferred configuration values. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +3. Initialize Terraform: |
| 70 | + ``` |
| 71 | + terraform init |
| 72 | + ``` |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +4. Apply the Terraform configuration: |
| 75 | + ``` |
| 76 | + terraform apply |
| 77 | + ``` |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +5. After infrastructure deployment, follow the deployment approaches in [DEPLOYMENT.md](./DEPLOYMENT.md) to publish the function app. |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +## Testing |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +> The function app includes HTTP triggers that can be used to test disk usage under load |
| 84 | +
|
| 85 | +## Monitoring |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +> Monitor the function app using: |
| 88 | +
|
| 89 | +- Azure Portal > Function App > Platform features > Advanced tools (Kudu) |
| 90 | +- Application Insights |
| 91 | +- Azure Monitor metrics |
