Creating Build Pipelines
In the previous chapter, we laid the groundwork for your Azure DevOps journey by preparing the build and deployment agents, pools, and deployment groups and explaining how to use them. This chapter will take the next step in helping you understand how to create your first pipeline. We will explore the fundamentals of using jobs, tasks, triggers, and stages and how to create build pipelines based on these concepts. This will enable you to streamline your workflow, minimize errors, and enhance productivity. It will also help make collaboration more efficient, and you’ll be better prepared to implement practices such as CI/CD.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Creating a build pipeline with a single job
- Creating tasks
- Creating multiple jobs
- Creating triggers
- Creating stages
