Pipelines Patterns and Practices

Microsoft provides and actively maintains a rich source of documentation for pipelines and YAML. Refer to them while building your pipelines and for best practices. For examples on how to construct your pipeline, the SDA team actively maintains an example DevOps project.

Documentation

• Azure Pipelines documentation
• Azure Pipelines YAML reference

Template Libraries

• MDT mlife-common-templates
• MSFT azure-pipelines-yaml/templates _{Note: in the near future, this link may need to be updated by replacing "master" with "main" in the path.}

SDA Sample DevOps Project

• library repo
• service repo

Considerations

• Task Groups are not going to be supported long-term. It is strongly advised to use YAML to ensure no loss of functionality down the road. Over time existing Task Groups will be converted to YAML templates you can leverage to expedite your pipeline development.
