feat: Added Deployment v2 pipeline

[Rafi-Microsoft]

Purpose

This pull request introduces a new, modular GitHub Actions workflow system for deploying, testing, and cleaning up Azure-based resources, with a focus on orchestrating deployments and supporting Linux-based infrastructure. The changes add several reusable workflow files that can be composed together, improving maintainability and flexibility for different deployment scenarios.

Key changes include:

New Orchestrator and Workflow Structure

• Added a central orchestrator workflow (deploy-orchestrator.yml) that coordinates the deployment, end-to-end testing, notification, and cleanup jobs, with support for configurable inputs such as Azure region, resource group, WAF/EXP toggles, and test suite selection. This workflow delegates actual work to job-specific workflow files for modularity.

• Introduced a new top-level workflow (deploy-windows.yml) designed to trigger deployments for Linux-based infrastructure on specific branches, schedules, or manual dispatch. It collects user inputs and invokes the orchestrator workflow.

Modular Job Workflows

• Added a reusable deployment job for Linux(job-deploy-windows.yml) that handles all deployment steps, including parameter configuration, Azure/Kubernetes/Helm setup, resource provisioning, health checks, post-deployment scripting, and job summary reporting. Outputs the deployed web app URL for downstream jobs.

• Added a cleanup job workflow (job-cleanup-deployment.yml) that logs into Azure, deletes the specified resource group asynchronously, handles logout, and generates a cleanup summary, supporting robust teardown of test environments.

These changes lay the groundwork for a more maintainable, flexible, and observable CI/CD pipeline for Azure deployments.

Most important changes:

Workflow Orchestration and Structure

• Added deploy-orchestrator.yml to coordinate deployment, testing, notification, and cleanup jobs, using modular workflow calls and supporting extensive input customization.
• Introduced deploy-windows.yml as a trigger workflow for Linux-based deployments, supporting branch, schedule, and manual triggers, and passing parameters to the orchestrator.

Modular Job Definitions

• Added job-deploy-windows.yml to encapsulate all deployment logic for Linux environments, including environment setup, Azure/Kubernetes/Helm configuration, deployment execution, health checks, post-deployment steps, and summary reporting.
• Added job-cleanup-deployment.yml for resource group cleanup, including Azure authentication, asynchronous deletion, logout, and job summary generation.

Parameterization and Reporting

• Enhanced all workflows to support rich parameterization (e.g., region, WAF/EXP toggles, test suites) and to generate detailed job summaries for traceability and debugging. [1] [2] [3]

Pull request overview

This pull request introduces a new modular GitHub Actions workflow system (v2) for deploying, testing, and managing Azure-based infrastructure. The changes establish a reusable workflow architecture that separates concerns into distinct job-specific workflows orchestrated by a central coordinator.

Key changes:

• Added a central orchestrator workflow that coordinates deployment, testing, notification, and cleanup jobs with configurable inputs for Azure regions, WAF/EXP toggles, and test suite selection
• Introduced modular job workflows for deployment, testing, cleanup, and notifications to improve maintainability and reusability
• Enhanced infrastructure configuration to support separate Azure OpenAI location specification distinct from the main infrastructure location
