Step by Step - Use Azure DevOps to Test, Build and Deploy an API

[@waytosanathan]

Perfect video covering almost all basic aspects of integration, build, test, deploy. Thanks a lot Les. This will act as a foundation to many

[@pauly]

When running the pipeline for the first time, approx 38:30 i am getting "No hosted parallelism has been purchased or granted." I assume this is now expected? ...as MS has moved the goalposts! I have filled in their form (address given in the error message) and will continue when they fix it. Great video by the way i am now a subscriber. Your videos are amongst the best i have seen.

[@asifsongs]

Best ever tutorial, now This is what I call dream teaching. Picked up each and every point he tried to convey.

[@FATPENGUIN96]

It's been a good day so far, I woke up mega early (UK time) to watch F1, that was in Melbourne, then sat down with a brunch for a Les Jackson video. Steps for a Les Jackson Video: 1) Click on video 2) Like video 3) watch video

Hope you had a great day - and enjoyed the the F1 and the Video! Lovely feedback - thanks - Les!

Very good explanation Jack..

[@camilogomez7167]

Take notice. When you are modifing the yml file to packaging the build in the line: "arguments: '--configuration $(BuildConfiguration) --output $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'", BuildConfiguration should be with capital B otherwise it throws an error .

This is a great tutorial - well paced and well structured. It is annoying that we have to change the yaml file manually though. I have a slightly different app to publish and it's kind of a pain to figure out how to insert those new tasks properly.

[@binarythistle]

Hey Francesco, I agree. It requires quite a bit of research to get the yaml file correct. You could make an entire video on that alone.

[@Shinee3e]

Thank you very much Les, very informative and complete as always, just wondering what if we take a .NET CORE API App which is related to a Db (i.e your last demo CommandsApi) and deploy it on Azure, will we run the migrations again? or just bring our local already generated Db on Microsoft Server? Thanks.

Thanks les , nice explanation about azure pipelines , it would be very nice if you could make a dedicated video about the yaml file , thanks :)

Hi Shubbam, that's a great idea! I've been looking at Docker for my next video and the "DockerFile" could do with more explaining as well.. May be a I should do a series on "config files"? E.g. azure-pipeleines.yaml, Dockerfile etc? Anyway great suggestion, I've had a few comments on building out what is possible with Azure DevOps Pipelines, so think I'll prioritise this one!

Please what can be wrong?
