This directory contains a Bicep template and a deployment script for provisioning Azure services in LocalStack for Azure. For further details about the sample application, refer to the Azure Service Bus with Spring Boot.
Before deploying this solution, ensure you have the following tools installed:
- LocalStack for Azure: Local Azure cloud emulator for development and testing
- Visual Studio Code: Code editor installed on one of the supported platforms
- Bicep extension: VS Code extension for Bicep language support and IntelliSense
- Docker: Container runtime required for LocalStack
- Azure CLI: Azure command-line interface
- Azlocal CLI: LocalStack Azure CLI wrapper
- Java 21+: Java runtime for compiling and running the sample application
- Maven 3.8+: Build tool for managing Java project dependencies and compilation
- jq: JSON processor for scripting and parsing command outputs
The deploy.sh Bash script uses the azlocal CLI instead of the standard Azure CLI to work with LocalStack. Install it using:
pip install azlocalFor more information, see Get started with the az tool on LocalStack.
The deploy.sh script creates the Azure Resource Group, while the Bicep template creates the following Azure resources:
- Azure Resource Group: A logical container scoping all resources in this sample.
- Azure Service Bus Namespace: The messaging namespace that hosts the queue used by the application.
- Azure Service Bus Queue: The
myqueuequeue used to send and receive messages.
The Spring Boot sample application connects to the Service Bus namespace, sends a test message to the sample queue, receives it back, and exits. For more information on the sample application, see Azure Service Bus with Spring Boot.
Before deploying the main.bicep template, update the main.bicepparam file with your specific values:
using 'main.bicep'
param queueName = 'myqueue'
param zoneRedundant = false
param tags = {
environment: 'test'
iac: 'bicep'
}You can use the deploy.sh script to automate the deployment of all Azure resources and the sample application in a single step, streamlining setup and reducing manual configuration. The script executes the following steps:
- Detects environment (LocalStack vs Azure Cloud) and uses the appropriate CLI.
- Creates the resource group if it doesn't exist.
- Optionally validates the Bicep template.
- Optionally runs a what-if deployment for preview.
- Deploys the
main.biceptemplate with parameters from main.bicepparam. - Extracts the Service Bus namespace name from deployment outputs.
- Retrieves the namespace connection string and exports it as
AZURE_SERVICEBUS_CONNECTION_STRING. - Compiles the Spring Boot project and runs the app on the host machine.
You can set up the Azure emulator by utilizing LocalStack for Azure Docker image. Before starting, ensure you have a valid LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN to access the Azure emulator. Refer to the Auth Token guide to obtain your Auth Token and specify it in the LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable. The Azure Docker image is available on the LocalStack Docker Hub. To pull the Azure Docker image, execute the following command:
docker pull localstack/localstack-azure-alphaStart the LocalStack Azure emulator using the localstack CLI, execute the following command:
# Set the authentication token
export LOCALSTACK_AUTH_TOKEN=<your_auth_token>
# Start the LocalStack Azure emulator
IMAGE_NAME=localstack/localstack-azure-alpha localstack start -d
localstack wait -t 60
# Route all Azure CLI calls to the LocalStack Azure emulator
azlocal start-interceptionNavigate to the bicep folder:
cd samples/servicebus/java/bicepMake the script executable:
chmod +x deploy.shRun the deployment script:
./deploy.shOnce the deployment completes, run the validate.sh script to confirm that all resources were provisioned and configured as expected:
#!/bin/bash
# Variables
PREFIX='local'
SUFFIX='test'
RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME="${PREFIX}-rg"
SERVICEBUS_NAMESPACE_NAME="${PREFIX}-sb-ns-${SUFFIX}"
SERVICEBUS_QUEUE_NAME="myqueue"
# Choose the appropriate CLI based on the environment
if [[ $ENVIRONMENT == "LocalStack" ]]; then
echo "Using azlocal for LocalStack emulator environment."
AZ="azlocal"

# Check resource group

--name "$SERVICEBUS_QUEUE_NAME" \
--query "{name:name, messageCount:messageCount, sizeInBytes:sizeInBytes}" \
--output table \
--only-show-errorsTo destroy all created resources:
#!/bin/bash
# Variables
PREFIX='local'
SUFFIX='test'
RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME="${PREFIX}-rg"
# Delete resource group and all contained resources
az group delete --name $RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME --yes --no-wait
# Verify deletion
az group list --output tableThis will remove all Azure resources created by the Bicep deployment script.
