Azure DevOps is very popular among teams that want a single place to
|
||
manage their development pipelines, Git repositories, builds, releases,
|
||
and test plans. Pulumi's open-source tools are a great choice for
|
||
developers and operators deploying infrastructure as code on Azure. With
|
||
these two tools at hand, adopting CI and CD for your Azure
|
||
infrastructure is just a few steps away for you and your teams.
|
||
|
||
To make it easy to use Pulumi with Azure, we are announcing an
|
||
open-source task extension for Azure Pipelines! The task extension will
|
||
manage the installation of the Pulumi CLI, and run the [Pulumi
|
||
commands](/docs/cli/commands/) you specify against
|
||
your stack.
|
||
|
||
You can install the task extension directly from the [Visual Studio
|
||
Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pulumi.build-and-release-task).
|
||
Click the **"Get It Free"** button to install the extension into your
|
||
Azure DevOps organization. If you do not have the permissions to add it
|
||
to your organization, please contact your org admin to have the
|
||
extension installed. The source code for the open source task extension
|
||
can be found on
|
||
[GitHub](https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-az-pipelines-task).
|
||
|
||
To use the Pulumi task extension in Azure Pipelines, there are two
|
||
options. The
|
||
full [example](https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-az-pipelines-task/tree/master/examples) is
|
||
in the source repo. For contrast, without this task extension,
|
||
[here's](/docs/using-pulumi/continuous-delivery/azure-devops#using-scripts-manual-approach) how
|
||
you would achieve the same, but with scripts.
|
||
|
||
## OPTION 1: Using the Classic Editor Console
|
||
|
||
Pasted below is a typical view of the Editor User Interface. Click on
|
||
the **"+"** button next to the job. As visible in the screenshot, the
|
||
job is called **"Agent job 1"**. The agent pool you choose does not
|
||
matter. The Pulumi task can run on both Linux as well as Windows
|
||
images.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Search for the **Pulumi** task by typing in the filter input on the right. Click the **Add** button.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Fill in the required information. You can learn about creating service connections for Azure
|
||
[here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/library/service-endpoints?view=azure-devops).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you want to understand all the commands available with the Pulumi CLI, click on the information icon (**i**)
|
||
next to **Pulumi Command**, and click on the help link to go to our quick reference page.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Option 2: Using a YAML File
|
||
|
||
Here's an example of the Pulumi task extension defined in YAML configuration.
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
- task: Pulumi@0
|
||
inputs:
|
||
azureSubscription: '<your-service-connection-name>'
|
||
command: "up"
|
||
args: "--yes --skip-preview"
|
||
cwd: "./"
|
||
# Replace this with your org's name.
|
||
stack: "<org-name>/pulumi-az-pipelines-task-example/dev"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Moving to Production
|
||
|
||
Once you've configured your Pulumi task extensions for your Azure Pipelines, you can now more
|
||
easily integrate Pulumi into your CI/CD pipeline, and take advantage of previews to infrastructure
|
||
changes in pull requests, push-to-deploy, and ultimately removing the friction for your DevOps.
|
||
|
||
As always, we'd love to hear what you think. Say 👋 in the [Pulumi Community Slack](https://slack.pulumi.com)
