 The sample catalog data is defined in [catalog.json](https://github.com/dotnet/eShop/blob/main/src/Catalog.API/Setup/catalog.json). Those product names, descriptions, and brand names are fictional and were generated using [GPT-35-Turbo](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/chatgpt), and the corresponding [product images](https://github.com/dotnet/eShop/tree/main/src/Catalog.API/Pics) were generated using [DALL·E 3](https://openai.com/dall-e-3).

+## Use Azure Developer CLI
+
+You can use the [Azure Developer CLI](https://aka.ms/azd) to run this project on Azure with only a few commands. Follow the next instructions:
+
+- Install [azd](https://aka.ms/azure-dev/install).
+- Log in `azd` (if you haven't done it before) to your Azure account:
+```sh
+azd auth login
+```
+- Initialize `azd` from the root of the repo.
+```sh
+azd init
+```
+- During init:
+  - Select `Use code in the current directory`. Azd will automatically detect the Dotnet Aspire project.
+  - Confirm `.Net (Aspire)` and continue.
+  - Select which services to expose to the Internet (exposing `webapp` is enough to test the sample).
+  - Finalize the initialization by giving a name to your environment.
+
+- Create Azure resources and deploy the sample by running:
+```sh
+azd up
+```
+Notes:
+  - The operation takes a few minutes the first time it is ever run for an environment.
+  - At the end of the process, `azd` will display the `url` for the webapp. Follow that link to test the sample.
+  - You can run `azd up` after saving changes to the sample to re-deploy and update the sample.
+  - Report any issues to [azure-dev](https://github.com/Azure/azure-dev/issues) repo.
+  - [FAQ and troubleshoot](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/troubleshoot?tabs=Browser) for azd.
