Summary
This chapter taught you how to create a release pipeline with variable group libraries and upload and manage a secret file. These components not only enhance the organization and security of your pipelines but also provide a foundation for efficient, consistent deployments.
Understanding how to create them will help you orchestrate streamlined, effective interactions between your Azure DevOps pipeline and the Azure ecosystem, a valuable skill for any Azure-powered development project.
In the next chapter, you will learn how to customize a build pipeline using YAML and run it on the agent. This YAML will create an advanced build pipeline rather than creating it on the Azure portal and is where you can create parameters for a build pipeline.
