I am building a report to summarize release definitions in Azure DevOps. This report will perform various checks to determine the health of the release definition. One of the checks I would like to implement is to determine if the Azure Service Connection the deployment phase is set to is still valid.
Currently I'm able to retrieve the YAML for the release definition, and the release instances however neither seem to indicate the specific service connection that's being used. The PowerShell commands I'm using are:
az pipelines release definition show
az pipelines release show
The YAML returned has several nodes such as deployPhases, deploySteps, releaseDeployPhases, deploymentJobs however for a release definition configured for a service connection I don't see any information in the release definition or the instance that indicates which service connection is being used.
The closest the YAML has to information about a service connection are references to variable such as $(ConnectedServiceName) and $(Parameters.ConnectedServiceName).
I'm also unable to find any information in either the Azure CLI or Rest API documentation on how to find the service connection for a release definition. The documentation I have checked is:
YAML Schema: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/yaml-schema?view=azure-devops&tabs=schema
Azure-DevOps (Azure CLI): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/ext/azure-devops/?view=azure-cli-latest
Is it possible to query the CLI and retrieve Service Connection information based on the YAML returned for a release definition, or a release instance?
