Document Yaml pipelines (only tested with Azure Devops)

Script that can generate (simple) documentation from your Azure DevOps Yaml pipeline. It will describe the parameters/variables and per stage all the used steps/jobs/tasks. Each type of activity is described using a description defined in keywords.json.

Additional features that could be added:

• Multi language support for keywords

• Description tag of yaml

• Preparation steps

  • Retrieve entire Yaml
    • 1. Run a pipeline
    • 2. Download logs
    • 3. Look for azure-pipelines-expanded.yaml

  note: You can expand this script by using the Yaml schema, this is however a schema that I couldn't get prompted, this is why the keywords.json is used for descriptions. Retrieve your organization schema: https://dev.azure.com//_apis/distributedtask/yamlschema

• Generation steps Script (5-dec-2024: yaml2md.v03.ps1

  • Run this script (without parameters):

    • .\yaml2md.v03.ps1

  • Run this script (with parameters):

    • .\yaml2md.v03.ps1 -YamlPath "mycoolpipeline.yaml" -OutputPath "pipeline-documentation.md" -KeywordsPath "keywords.json"

Azure verified modules

Script that helps to migrate from CARML to AVD (mainly prepares the structure - note that this is time specific - this version might be suited at the moment you are working on this)

• CARML Upgrade script (can be discussed upon request)

  • added bicep CARML upgrade script for the old structure (Feb 2023) -> to the latest structure (Feb 2024)
  • Note that Bicep is undergoing changes towards Azure Verified Modules
  • Note tha this script only corrects the structure, not the content

  Changes:

  • Plural to single (policies --> policy)
  • Microsoft.AAD --> AAD
  • Deploy.bicep --> Main.bicep
  • Pascal case to '-' dash separated lower case (e.g. DataFactory --> data-factory
