Azure DevOps Pipeline and Image Builder

In this video, we go over using an Azure DevOps pipeline to automate the image build process with Azure Image Builder. This Azure DevOps tutorial goes over using Azure DevOps with VS Code to manage files. We then build a YAML pipeline with Azure CLI, ARM template deployments and PowerShell to build an image.

This is the most underrated channel on YouTube. Few months back I started my job as a Data Engineer, your videos have helped me in every way possible. Thank you, @Travis Roberts

[garethcarson]

Travis, I just want to say that I find your content and presentations spot on. I cannot fault this for someone who needs that 'visual' comprehension!

[rskrao]

Travis, this a Fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much.

Thank you Travis, another great demo! So much easier then to deal with packer, specifically when building win and t-shooting winrm communications:) Could demo how would you build OS customization pipeline, let's say to add existing vm to session host pool (updating regkey with host pool key) Very interesting to see your approach on that

Great Work Travis! Quality tutorial and There is only a few of it on on devops at youtube.

@Ciraltos great video. I have a question regarding step 1 for AzureCLI copy script to blob storage. Can the blob storage account be from another subscription ? I mean different value then azureSubscription input.

another great video Travis

i have a question...
is it possible to use the devops, pipelines and the image builder to apply windows patches to a pre existing server2019 image?

the scenario is that our existing server image does not get patched regularly... I need to deploy a vm, patch it, run sysprep and then capture the newly patched server as an image and add it as the next version number in azure compute galleries.

so im wondering if this is something possible in devops and pipelines?
do you have any guides for something like this?

cheers

thank's for this great tutorial !! is it possible to personnalise a ubuntu image ?

[nasaunico]

Great tutorial!
What about using the DevOps task for the Azure Image builder in the pipeline? Did you try that out as well?
If yes which way would you recommend?

Hello Travis,
Thank you so much for these. This playlist is the sole reason I now have some level of proficiency with Azure Image builder. Quick question though, say I have a PowerShell script for the customization to be run on the image. I have some variables in this script and I would like to pass parameters to them during the build process. How can I achieve this?

Image template building lasts as long time in background, if I would like to deploy VM using that build image, how would do that in DevOps pipeline?

[ranitchatterjee]

Who writes those ".ps1" scripts? I know cloud engineers or cloud ops can write the .json file, or even devops engineer, but what the installation script files?

Thanks for this video Travis - really sums it up nicely and great idea to use SAS to access storage account. I'm wanting to follow this approach but cannot get it to work. I know the SAS is valid, but the image build fails with: Not authorized to access the resource. Any ideas? It feels like the SAS is not usable by the image builder, or is not being passed over correctly. Thanks

how else can i trigger the pipline if archive is changed?

Hello Sir,
How is work life balance in DevOps jobs.??.. asking as want to start a career path..where I can make a decent amount of money and..can enjoy my life..So if that's the case..Is DevOps for me??

There's no reason to add replication to the build process. Validate your builds, then replicate. If you have a build fail for whatever reason (mistake in updating a script?), putting replication in the pipeline just wastes time.
