My Initial Environment Setup Notes for Python × Azure Projects

※現在記事作成中です...

Introduction

This is a personal onboarding memo I put together for joining a web application project that uses Python and Microsoft Azure. It summarizes the tools and initial setup steps that help me get up to speed quickly. I hope it’s useful as a reference for future projects — for myself and maybe someone else.

Project Context

・Language：Python (Django-friendly setup)
・Cloud：Microsoft Azure
・Repository Management：GitLab
・Local Environment：Windows

Tools to Prepare Before Starting Development

1. Visual Studio Code (VSCode)
2. GitLab
3. GitHub Copilot
4. A5SQL Mk-2
5. PowerShell
6. Azure (CLI / Portal / Extensions)

Quick Initial Setup Flow

①Install VSCode + required extensions
②Clone the GitLab repository
③Create a Python virtual environment (venv)
④Install dependencies from requirements.txt
⑤Log in to Azure (az login)
⑥Prepare local .env files
⑦Run the application locally (Django / FastAPI)
⑧Verify DB connectivity using A5SQL
⑨Confirm GitHub Copilot is working
⑩Review project rules around branches, MR flow, and CI/CD

Conclusion

These are my initial setup notes for joining a Python × Azure web application project. Thanks for reading and I hope this memo helps someone!
