Overview
This objective covers designing and implementing Azure Pipelines pipelines using templates, triggers, conditions, and parallel execution to achieve efficient and reliable build and release processes.
Core Concepts
- YAML defines pipeline structure, including triggers, jobs, dependencies, and conditions.
- Stages model sequential delivery boundaries, while independent jobs can run in parallel when dependencies and agent capacity allow.
- Variable groups share governed values across pipelines; secret values should not be printed or treated as ordinary parameters.
Exam Tips
- When designing pipelines, consider the separation of concerns – use templates for structural reusability, parameters for template-time inputs, and conditions for controlling execution flow.
- Check the distinction between deployment jobs and ordinary jobs, as deployment jobs provide environment deployment history.
