Azure Release Pipeline Approval/Pre Deployment Conditions
Approvals and gates gives further control over the execution and success of the deployment pipeline. Each step in a release pipeline can be built with pre-deployment and post-deployment settings that can embrace waiting for authority users to manually approve or reject deployments, and testing and validating the quality checks with any computerized systems until definite requirements are complete. Also, we can constitute a manual interference to pause the deployment pipeline and prompt developers to carry out manual tasks, then resume or reject the deployment.
Once the approvals are in place the Release would be promoted to higher environments and finally deployed in Production. Assigned approvers would receive email notification along with the link to approve. Unless approved deployment will not take place. Once it is approve and release, pipeline shows with success as described in Figure 11
