Integrating Code Signing in Azure Devops Pipeline
Azure Devops
Azure DevOps is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform that provides tools for improved team collaboration. It also offers tools for automated build processes, version control, project management, testing, release management, package management, and more.
Azure Devops Pipeline
Azure DevOps Pipeline is a feature of Azure DevOps that allows you to create and run continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for applications. You can use Azure DevOps Pipeline to build, test, and deploy code to any platform and cloud.
Azure DevOps Configuration File
An Azure pipeline configuration file is a YAML file that defines the steps and tasks of your pipeline. YAML, which stands for "YAML Ain't Markup Language," is a human-readable data serialization language. A YAML file uses indentation and keywords to represent the structure and logic of your pipeline.
- trigger: A trigger defines the events that cause the pipeline to run. It can use branch names, tags, paths, or schedules to specify the trigger conditions.
- pool: A pool specifies the agent that runs the pipeline. An agent is a computing environment that executes one job at a time. It can use either Microsoft-hosted agents or self-hosted agents.
- steps: A step is the smallest building block of a pipeline. A step can run a command, tool, or task. A command is a shell command or a script. A tool is an executable file or a package. A task is a pre-packaged script that performs a specific action, such as publishing a build artifact or deploying to an environment.
- inputs: Inputs are parameters that control the behavior of a step. Inputs can be used to customize the configuration and options of a step, such as specifying the source folder, target folder, file pattern, or variable name.
- displayName: A display name is a user-friendly name that appears in the pipeline logs and UI, making your pipeline more readable and understandable.
