Hint: Azure DevOps Release Gate with Azure DevOps Starter

To build quick demo for “Release Gate” with condition from Azure Board, Azure Monitor and SonarQube

1. DevOps Starter ” .NET Core -> App Service ”
2. Add SonarQube in “build” Pipeline
3. Add Release ” UAT” Stage (Then, we have Dev & UAT)
4. Add “Pre-deployment approvals”
5. Add “Pre-deployment Gates” ” Query work items”
   Azure DevOps -> Boards -> Queries -> Active Bugs -> … -> Security -> ReleaseGate Build Service(myOrg) -> Read ( Allow )
6. Add “monitoring” gate in “Dev” Stage
7. Add Agentless Job in Tasks( manual Intervention )
8. Add ” Post-deployment approvals” Gate “Query Azure Monitor Alerts”
9. Add ” Post-deployment approvals” Gate “Invoke REST API:POST”
