I want to deploy Azure Resources using GitLab pipelines. resources e.g. Resource Group, storage account, etc. using ARM/Powershell stored in GitLab CI and using GitLab pipelines how can I deploy any Azure resources?
You've to setup gitlab-ci.yml and use it in CI / CD on GitLab.
Please follow this video tutorial from Azure DevOps explaining the process.
This tutorial covers all the steps you mentioned from 1-5.

I have an Azure Repos project with IaC code and ci/cd yaml pipelines to set up Azure Synapse infrastructure. Can you recommend what is right approach when I integrate the workspace to connect to git? Should I create a new project in Azure Repos for the Synapse artifacts or should I use the same repository as the infrastructure project?
I will be setting up ci/cd pipelines to deploy the azure synapse artifacts as well.
Thanks!
Here's an answer to a similar question I posted:
You'll want to follow Microsoft's guide on CI/CD with Synapse. This is a great walkthrough video for the process.
Work in your development environment and commit to your collaboration branch.
A pipeline triggers off of your workspace_publish branch, releasing your code to your next environment (preferably with an approval gate)
Continue releasing the same code to higher environments, again with approval gates.
For Azure DevOps, you can use variable groups to parameterize your pipeline. Also make sure to read through the custom parameters section on that link to parameterize parts of the template that are not parameterized by default.
I have a containerized app's image that builds on master push and ends up in azure container registry. I need to setup the next step where this image ends up on my linux on prem server.
I have established the connection with the server using a deployment group agent, which claims is healthy.
I have created a pipeline which takes the built image artifact as input but I am completely failing to grasp and create the step in which the artifact is being pulled on / pushed to the server (and ideally run too).
I am looking at the tasks in the pipelines > task section in Azure Devops but I cannot find a place to add some specific steps neither I am very sure what steps to add.
I would very much appreciate any tip on how to deploy a container from acr to on premises linux server using azure devops pipelines. Thank you in advance.
You can check this link which shows how to create Azure Pipeline CI/CD for docker container ,make sure all these steps are followed:

im trying to deploy some synapse artifacts to a synapse workspace with devops repo integration via a python runbook. By using the azure-synapse-artifacts library of the python azure sdk the artifacts are published directly to the live mode of the synapse workspace. Is there any way to deploy artifacts to a devops repo branch for synapse? Didnt find any devops repo apis or libaries, just for the direct integration of git.
We can use CICD in this case, as this process will help to move entities from one environment to others, and for this we need to configure our synapse work space as source in GIT.
Below are few straight steps we can follow:
Set up Azure Synapse workspace and configure pipeline in Azure Devops.
Under staging while creating DevOps project, we can select Add Artifacts and select GIT.
Configure the workflow file and add workflow.
You can refer to MS Docs for detailed explanation of each step in achieving this task
Azure have a new(ish) static hosting product which would be very useful. The idea is you can check your static site code into Git, and have it deploy to your site. You can even view branches as a sort of preview workflow.
The problem is Azure Static Web service only seems to work with Github.
Our organisation has all its repos in Azure DevOps, which is a seamless unified environment for our repos, build pipelines, and Azure web services. All our Devs are setup with Azure Dev ops git accounts, they dont have (non private) github accounts.
We dont want to have to go out and setup a duplicate git hosting outside of Azure - along with the pain of security, authorization, or linking with Active directory.
We want to use Azure Git with Azure Static web.
To a large extent, git is git.
Does anyone have any workarounds, hacks or tutorials to make these two Microsoft Azure products talk to each other?
Azure Static Website now supports Azure DevOps Git Repo and continuous deployment from Azure DevOps pipeline. Please follow the bellow steps:
Step 1: In the create resource page use Other as deployment source
Step 2: Once the resource is created, get the deployment token
Once you commit your code in Azure DevOps Git repo
Step 3: Create a starter pipeline and use the below code snippet (use the deployment token grabbed above)
trigger:
- main
pool:
vmImage: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- checkout: self
submodules: true
- task: AzureStaticWebApp#0
inputs:
app_location: '/WebSite'
api_location: '/api'
output_location: 'dist/WebSite'
env:
azure_static_web_apps_api_token: $(deployment_token)
The above code snippet is for the following Azure DevOps git repo structure
I have written a step by step guide to do the same. Please refer if you need further information.
The ETA for Azure DevOps support is February.
What you'll be able to do is:
Create a Static Web App without linking it to GitHub
Add an Azure Pipelines YAML to your repo with the task (we'll provide
an example YAML that you can copy/paste). The task looks a lot like
the GitHub Action in terms of input and capabilities. You'll need to
set a pipeline variable for the deployment token (retrieved from the
portal).
No support for PRs/environments yet. We don't have the same hooks as
GitHub to act on PR open/close. We'll continue to investigate.
Please refer to this ticket. If you have any questions or suggestions, please also share it in the ticket.
Azure Devops support with Azure static web apps is announced and available in public preview.
You can read the documentation to publish an App with Azure Devops.
Also i published a video and a blog to publish an angular application, you can refer the same.
Boss wants me to set up a pipeline in Azure Devops to our Gitlab repos. I have a few questions:
Do I set it up under "Git other"? Should I mirror the repositories into Azure Devops?
I am supposed to set it up with a docker image, do I need to use docker hub?
I've never set up a pipeline and I am just a lost intern, thanks for any advice.
Do I set it up under "Git other"?
Yes, you could use the Git other to create a Service connections for the
GitLab. And there is an extension GitLab Integration for Azure Pipelines,
which could be able to download the sources from a GitLab repository (using
clone command) and use downloaded sources in Azure Pipelines.
Should I mirror the repositories into Azure Devops?
If you have no plans to migrate gitlab repo to azure devops repo, you do not need to mirror the repositories into Azure Devops. Besides, just as LJ said, since the YAML structure does not support for Gitlab at this moment, we could not use YAML structure with Gitlab repo.
I am supposed to set it up with a docker image, do I need to use
docker hub?
This is a matter of taste. In addition to dikcer hub, you can also use Azure Container Registry.
Do I set it up under "Git other"? Should I mirror the repositories into Azure Devops?
If you want to set up the pipeline using the YAML structure and have all the features that Azure DevOps provides, you have to mirror the repository since it's not possible yet to use the YAML file to run pipelines directly from GitLab and Git other connection has some limitations.
I am supposed to set it up with a docker image, do I need to use docker hub?
For the pipeline environment, you can use VM Images provided by Azure.
