Building a multistage YAML pipeline
Consider a scenario in which SpringToys wants to deploy its core application leveraging build and release pipelines using YAML. This enables users to access identical pipeline features as those utilizing the visual designer but with the added benefit of a markup file that can be managed like any other source file.
To add YAML build definitions to a project, include the corresponding files in the repository’s root. Azure DevOps further offers default templates for popular project types and a YAML designer, streamlining the task of defining build and release tasks. Organizations can use these robust capabilities to expedite and optimize their development process.
The following practical demonstration will review how to configure a multistage CI/CD pipeline as code with YAML in Azure DevOps.
