Staging release

Prerequisites

  • Release for Dev environment working as expected
  • Infrastructure created on Staging
  • All required configuration is available for Staging environment

Steps

  1. Open azure-pipeline-release.yml and add following section replacing “clientname” with [yourclientname] keeping same casing:
- stage: stagingrelease
  displayName: Release Staging
  # Uncomment this once you add desired variable groups
  # variables:
  - group: 'Connection Strings - Staging'
  - group: 'ClientName Variables - Staging'
  dependsOn: devrelease
  jobs:
  - template: Pipelines/TaskGroups/release-netcore-v2-with-tests.yml@templates
    parameters:
      environment: 'staging'
      location: 'westeurope'
      appService: 'poq-clientName-staging-weu-app'
      appServiceResourceGroup: 'poq-clientName-staging-weu-rg'
      azureServiceConnection: 'poq-clientName (poq-clientName-vsts-sp)'
      isFunctionApp: 'false'
Please note that in general this piece should be already configured if you used code from template and configured Dev release successfully.

For client name Yourbrand section will look like this:

- stage: stagingrelease
  displayName: Release Staging
  # Uncomment this once you add desired variable groups
  # variables:
  - group: 'Connection Strings - Staging'
  - group: 'YourBrand Variables - Staging'
  dependsOn: devrelease
  jobs:
  - template: Pipelines/TaskGroups/release-netcore-v2-with-tests.yml@templates
    parameters:
      environment: 'staging'
      location: 'westeurope'
      appService: 'poq-yourbrand-staging-weu-app'
      appServiceResourceGroup: 'poq-yourbrand-staging-weu-rg'
      azureServiceConnection: 'poq-yourbrand (poq-yourbrand-vsts-sp)'
      isFunctionApp: 'false'
