Azure Devops Bypass policy when code push - Glimpse

Devops is a culture most of the organizations embrace it. In this article let's see what is branch policy in Azure Devops (ADO).

Before that, we need to know what is policy (aka) Branch policy in ADO

Branch policy has set of policies to be applied on the branch typically main. By that we avoid accidental activity. Few are as

  1. Reviewers required to view the code change before move to main/master branch
  2. work item - ADO's user story / task / bug etc., any of the item number should be linked

Consider a scenario that your organization's existing project has some policies like most recent code pusher can not push code again.

Very rare case may happen or not, a senior developer needs a exclusion to fix an urgent pre-prod/production incident. So He/She does not want to be in that case. They want to push their code often when discussing with client manager or customer

So, how can we override the branch policy of ADO for an user

In the project settings -> Repositories -> Select your repository -> Security -> User permission

Here the senior developer would be under a group like project Administrators, Contributor etc., Choose the correct group then select Bypass policies when pushing is while code push the one we require here and click Allow

Now that senior developer can push his/her code often

Azure Advisor advises/recommeds us to optimize our cloud resources in various places like scaling, security, sizing, performace, cost etc., Now azure releases a new feature that changing lookback period for azure VM/VMSS to get right sizing. Let's consider a scenario that a company is running business and it has some workloads in either azure VM or VMSS. Some of the times VM's usage like CPU or memory is high.

Here, I'm not going to deep dive about the migration whereas going to see the illustration of changing .net version from UI. For learning, GUI is the best place to start.

Consider a scenario that, you're requested to migrate your existing .net6 function app to be migrated .net8 isolated, you would go to settings panel and try to change the version in configuration, but the option would be disabled, it was disabled for me initially. Shocking and Afraid! After some point of ...
