Deployment

Create the Required Azure Resources using ARM Templates

There are two ways you can deploy the resources

One by cloning/forking the Notification Service repository, creating build pipeline and pointing those build artifacts in your release definition or You could create a release definition that points to the artifacts from our build definition.
Create the resources using Deploy to Azure button from here or clone the ARM Templates from here and create a Azure Pipelines or Github Actions release to deploy. Please check a reference release here (Microsoft Employees only) or you could Export that reference release pipeline and create a new release pipeline by selecting Import release pipeline and editing the release definition as per your choice.
