Let's take a closer look at the following Multi-Stage pipeline for windows. (for linux based build agents see this Multi-Stage pipeline for linux instead).

Take a look here to see what the README.md document looks like: example_README.md

Next I will be using Azure CLI in a PowerShell script below called: Bastion_Setup.ps1 to set up the Bastion Host:

Lets start by creating a resource group and a windows dotnet function app in our Azure subscription. For this step I have written a PowerShell script using Azure CLI. You can also find ths script on my GitHub repository.

I hope you have enjoyed this post and have learned something new. You can find the code samples used in this blog post on my Github page. You can also look at the demo project or even create your own projects and workflows from the demo project template repository. ❤️

To set up the function app I wrote a PowerShell script using AZ CLI, that would build and configure the function app to use as a demo for this tutorial. There was one manual step however I will cover a bit later on. You can find the script I used on my github code page called Azure-Pre-Reqs.ps1.

The following function app code can also be found under my github code page called run.ps1.

NOTE: A complete script for all the steps/Pre-Reqs described in building the environment can be found on my GitHub code page

To stage and setup the entire environment for my API automatically I wrote a PowerShell script using AZ CLI, that would build and configure all the things I would need to start work on my function. There was one manual step however I will cover a bit later on. But for now you can find the script I used on my github code page called setup_environment.ps1.

This tutorial is based on the following Azure DevOps Repository blueprint, which will use a CI/CD YAML pipeline to deploy an Azure Virtual Network using terraform IaC configuration files.

The extension is based on a tool called AzureDevOps.WikiPDFExport by Max Melcher that allows you to export a whole WIKI (or a single file) as a PDF. The tool performs the following tasks:
