I created the ARM templates for Azure Web App, Azure SQL Database, Key vault and Azure Storage. And deployed these ARM templates in to azure using Azure DevOps process CI and CD.
But I want to enforce policies as part of the development process. I know Microsoft released the feature of Azure Policy integration with Azure DevOps is now available. But I don’t know how to integrate policies with Azure DevOps.
Can anyone suggest me or provide any useful documentation?
After creating and assigning policies, they are automatically evaluated on every template deployment. If there is an attempt to deploy a template that violates a policy with a deny effect, you can see this in Azure DevOps:
Edit: How to use steps for creating and assigning policies and finding the output can be found on the docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/azure-policy?view=azure-devops. Also, you can now evaluate Azure Policies via an Release Gate. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/deploy/azure-policy-check-gate?view=azure-devops
Azure Pipelines has Policy gates that can also be used to check if the underlying resources/resource group/subscription is compliant before proceeding.
You can find details here.

I am decided to restrict transaction between two states in azure devops server in inherited process
but i donot know support or not?
if support , how to do it?
i read this link but not found in my azure devops web admin
I am afraid this release has not been updated to the azure devops server. I also did not find the "Restrict the transaction to state" in the Actions on my side.
The release of this feature is currently only for azure devops service. For the release note of Azure DevOps Server, please follow this.
I am working on Azure Analysis service directly from portal.azure.com. Instead i want AAS be save as some file in git repo and deployed is managed through Azure DevOps. Not sure if this possible? How to proceed further on this
Currently, Azure Analysis Service don’t support implementing using Azure Devops.
I would request you to provide the feedback here:
https://feedback.azure.com/forums/556165-azure-analysis-services
All of the feedback you share in these forums will be monitored and reviewed by the Microsoft engineering teams responsible for building Azure.
You could have a script task make a REST call to Azure from Azure DevOps, building the URL and payload from code, say passing in parameters, or by utilising a variable group.
Anyone know if it's possible to upload custom policies via an Azure DevOps task?
The release pipeline might look like this:
Staging Environment - Deploy from Git to IEF, add suffix _staging
Block pipeline for manual testing
Prod Environment - Deploy to IEF
without the staging suffix
It is possible through MS Graph API for Programmatic access to Custom Policies and Keysets.
You can use Graph API requests to create, update and delete custom policies. These are Graph API requests so you can integrate these in your pipeline but you need to manage the access token.
The MS Graph API is indeed the way to go. For a complete solution look here.
Details on integrating with a DevOps pipeline are here.
Reference 1. Check this blogpost on Custom Policies release automation with Azure DevOps
Reference 2. this extension is available in Azure DevOps marketplace, do the work somewhat similar
Reference 3. Here is Documentation from Azure, Deploy custom policies with Azure Pipelines
We're planning on migrating our TFS on premise to Azure DevOps. I understand that to migrate, we need Azure AD. My question is, what would be the subscription level should I get?
I'm fairly new to this so please go easy on me. Thanks!
Do you mean Azure Subscription?
DevOps doesn't requires Azure Subscription. But if you anticipate needing to purchase any additional user plans, build/deployment pipelines, hosted build services, hosted load test services, or other developer services, we highly recommend making sure that you have an Azure Subscription ready for linking to your imported Azure DevOps Services organization once the import has completed.
You could refer to the migration guide first, which can be downloaded from website below:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/devops/migrate/
Is there components that Will be able to deploy a project to Azure with ARM storage?
Currently, We are using "Azure Deployment" with Azure Classic, that is working properly.
But, in that components We can'T select the ARM subscription, just only the classic one.
Do you have any information about that?
Maybe the ARM template will be the solution?
Thanks
Cloud Services can only be associated with classic storage accounts.
More information, you can refer to: How to create and deploy a cloud service.
So, you need to use Azure Deployment step/task with Azure Classic.
