How to select a pipeline to opt-in to the pre-release validation?
To opt-in, your pipeline:
- Should not be a production pipeline that deploys to your prod environments
- Should not trigger any other release pipelines downstream
- Should not upload nuget packages or deploy to any test environments
- Should not publish azure devops extensions
- Can produce pipeline artifacts
Typically the pipelines that are used in your pull-requests are most suited for our pre-release validation.'
We cannot use any PR pipelines for this in our environment, as we don't use the templates there.
My initial sense is that Arcade-validation seems like a good candidate here.
The steps here are:
I'll start working on 2. While I run some experiments to make sure that arcade-validation is the best candidate.
The fact that it will trigger the build promotion pipeline and possibly move builds to the BAR makes it seem like it's probably not the best candidate.
1ES offers the ability to onboard customer pipelines to their pre-release validation. Once there is a new version of the pipeline templates, 1ES will run all the validation pipelines that they know about, and will not promote a prerelease version of the templates unless all validations succeed.
We should either find, or create a pipeline to onboard to this flow.
