There are many tools that can help tackle infrastructure as code including cloud or host agnostic options like HashiCorp Terraform as well as platform-specific options like Azure Resource Manager Templates. Which is right for you?
The Azure Cloud Shell is one of my favorite things about using Azure. Many of the administrative tasks that I may have had to run from a local computer can now be done from a browser anywhere I can authenticate into my Azure account. I used to always worry about needing a computer that had a shell or a terminal program with my ssh key on it all the...
Happy Friday! We've had a really strong week of content. Feast your eyes on these varied topics - from pipeline components and build agents, to working with Java or Go apps, to testing databases in your CI. Our community has something for everyone.
This sprint, we're replacing the "View YAML" experience. This is the feature which helps you migrate designer pipelines to YAML. The new version is more correct and covers more Classic Build features, which I'll cover in this post.

In part 1, I walked you you through how to set up that sweet pull request workflow for Static Web Apps if your app if your app is in Azure App Service and your code and pipelines are in Azure DevOps. Now I show you how to do the same thing if your pipelines are in Azure Pipelines, but your code is in a GitHub repo.
A container virtualizes the underlying OS and causes the containerized app to perceive that it has the OS—including CPU, memory, file storage, and network connections—all to itself. Because the differences in underlying OS and infrastructure are abstracted, as long as the base image is consistent, the container can be deployed and run anywhere
Do you ever wonder what docs have been updated for Azure DevOps? We sure do, and now we track and report on it.
What is a container based pipeline? In short, it's a pipeline where *each* task runs in a container. The benefit of this is I don't need to spend time configuring my build server or build environment with *all* the necessary dependencies and binaries needed for my pipeline.
Happy Friday everyone! We have some great community content covering testing (for both code and infrastructure), YAML definition tips, and security scanning. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
