Happy Friday everyone! This week was Microsoft Ignite 2021<\/a>, and we had a number of great sessions. If you missed it or would like to take another look at the content, head over to the Microsoft Ignite site<\/a>. If you want to search through sessions, take a look at the Session Catalog<\/a>. One session I really enjoyed was Grant Fritchey’s session on Automating Database Deployments using Azure DevOps<\/a>. We’ve got great highlights on the landing page for you to view from the event, so be sure to check them out as well!<\/p>\n

This week’s top community posts cover many great topics such as PowerShell code testing within a pipeline, automated publishing for Azure Data Factory pipelines, container image creation and Azure Container Registry upload via pipelines, and more! Have a look!<\/p>\n

Increase the success rate of Azure DevOps pipelines using Pester<\/a>
\nTesting is necessary for ensuring your code is doing what you want it to do every time you make a change. Ryan walks us through using a PowerShell test framework called Pester within an Azure DevOps pipeline to help increase your efficiency and overall code quality.<\/p>\n

Create a custom Azure DevOps pipeline task for PowerShell<\/a>
\nAzure DevOps has many great built-in tasks for you to use within your pipeline, but what if you need something a bit more custom? In this post, Barbara shows us how to create and publish a custom password generator Azure DevOps pipeline task.<\/p>\n

Creating Azure DevOps Build Pipelines to deploy Container Image into Azure App Service<\/a>
\nIn this post, Jonny shows us how he uses an Azure DevOps pipeline to build a container image of his application and push it into the Azure Container Registry. This post has a video to go along with it, and it’s also a continuation of previous posts (mentioned in this post) – so be sure to check those out as well for the full picture!<\/p>\n

Automated Publish (CI\/CD) for Azure Data Factory Using DevOps<\/a>
\nAsanka thoughtfully details how to configure automated publishing of Azure Data Factory pipelines in this step-by-step guide full of detail – screenshots of the steps included!<\/p>\n

Adding environment variables in Azure Pipelines for a dotnet Linux service<\/a>
\nYou can define and use variables in your Azure DevOps pipeline, but what if you need to set and use environment variables on a Linux server? Bogdan walks us through some workaround options for setting Linux variables via an Azure DevOps pipeline that can be seen and used by a Linux service or daemon.<\/p>\n
