In this episode I’m going to be looking at refining our pipeline code by adding formatting checks and putting some of our more sensitive variables into and Azure DevOps library. If you’ve been with me on the whole journey you now should have a relatively good understanding of the structure of pipelines, and be able to use them to deploy resources into Azure using basic Terraform code.
