automating release pipeline creation Azure Devops

votes

I have one DevOps project which has a build pipeline and a release pipeline. creation of build pipeline, DevOps project, container registry, service connection, and Kubernetes cluster is automated using terraform, ARM templates and AZCLI. I could not find any way to store the release pipeline as a code. Is there any way to do that? I want to know how other people are dealing with this? Is there something I am missing?

Did you look at multi-stage YAML pipelines? – Daniel Mann
@DanielMann well This is the closest thing to what I was looking for. Though it does not create a separate release pipeline but gets the job done. thanks for input. :) – Ojas Kale

Looks like you're looking for multi-stage Yaml pipelines like Daniel commented above. For now, we can't directly create release pipeline as Yaml format, but we can use multi-stage Yaml for both CI and CD.

To use that option, we need to enable the Multi-stage pipelines in Preview Features.
