Building on Azure DevOps

1. Create an account with Azure and a subscription within the account.
2. Create a resource group and an Azure Container Registry within the RG.
3. Create a project on Azure DevOps.
4. Create a starter pipeline within the project, triggered by the GitHub repository hosting the code. Go through the steps to create the service principal on Azure which will allow the Azure DevOps pipeline to push the images to the ACR.
5. git push -u origin on branch master to trigger the pipeline and build the dockerized uipath-robot
