Manual approval in an Azure DevOps YAML-pipeline

Last week I was creating a YAML-pipeline in Azure DevOps to deploy some ARM Templates. Before deploying those changes to my production environment, I wanted to have a manual approval in place. Here’s how I did that.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been implementing a few new networking features in Azure for a client. We did that to make our infrastructure more secure. I’ve been playing around with VNET’s, Private Links, Services Endpoints and Access Restrictions on Azure Web App, SQL databases, Storage and KeyVault. One of the issues I stumbled upon quite quickly was the fact that when you restrict access to a resource, Azure DevOps can’t reach that anymore as well.
