Create a pipeline

A template fills in most of a pipeline for a common task, such as a service restart, and leaves the details that are yours to fill.

Before you begin

• Your tenant role lets you create pipelines (Roles and permissions).
• The credentials the pipeline needs are in Manage Automation Credentials (Manage automation credentials).

Steps

1. Open Automation, then Create Pipeline.
2. Pick a template, such as Service Restart, and select Use template. Pick Basic Pipeline to start from scratch.
3. Type the pipeline's title.
4. Fill in the parts the template leaves open: its configuration, such as a schedule, its environment variables, its imports, its functions and the stages of its pipeline script.
5. Select Save Pipeline, or Save & Run to run it straight away.

Result

The pipeline is in the Pipeline list. Run starts it from there, and its own page lists its builds, with View Log for each one. A stage that waits for approval carries on when you select Proceed.
