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 Public IP(s) are zone redundant free of cost natively - Generally Available Availability zone gives high availability to an application as well as information by forestalling the physical datacenter disappointments by involving replication of the asset in extra datacenter. Azure typically has 3 zones per region (and not all regions support zone). Thus, while setting up the environment we really want to pick the right region based on our usecase. Public IP helps to access a resource or an application publicly. Azure offers 2 types of SKU for public IP as below Basic Standard Only Standard SKU gives zone facility. Basic SKU is always non-zonal and this SKU also will be retired 09/2025. Standard public IP can be fell into any of the below category No Zone / Non-Zonal - No availability zone at all Zonal - Our services can be replicated in any one of selected zones from three zones. Zone redundant - Resource will be replicated in all 3 zones. It is opposite of...

Avoid YAML Validation error in azure devops pipeline Hi All! Consider a scenario that you committed a YML CI/CD file on the repository with some syntax, indentation and/or other error(s). so that pipeline failed. After you find some errors and rectified in the repository file and committed again but pipeline still gets failed because some errors are still there. Now you afraid that even if you fixed error in all the places, what happens if pipeline failed again because your project lead or manager set up build notification mail trigger for build success and fails. you need to answer them for build fail reason. Azure devops pipelines offers YAML validation feature after altered and before committed and before run pipeline. To utilize this feature, what we do is, Instead of modifying the file from repository, Do as below Go to the specific build click "Edit Pipeline" Modify/fix errors and click "validate" as shown in the picture below ...

Azure Blob - Convert blob access tier on Page and append blobs Hi All Azure storage account is one of the mostly used service by many people and it has page, append and block blob types on storage blob. To have blobs in "Hot" tier incur some more cost but it is prffered for frequently accessed. so if our blob is required but less access then we can change its access tier to keep it with low cost then at the time of need we can change it back to original type. we can set access tier only for block blobs. For remaining blob types, there is no direct way to set access tiers. so how can we achieve it? we need to change blob type to block blob and apply access tier for it then when we need original blob with appropriate, we need to typecast from the recent one we converted. In the below image, Initially I have an append blob called "1.JPG". when you see it, you could not see its access tier whereas bloc blob shows as "Hot" Now, Let's...
