If I recall correctly, Azure Devops was set to add a feature to allow release pipelines to be placed into yaml , similar to build pipeline. Is this feature available yet?
Im hoping to get some guidance on the migration of legacy classic release pipeline, to the new format?
UPDATE: It looks like I'm only about 4 months behind. Posted on May 6, 2019
With our new updates, development teams can now leverage the same YAML documents to build multi-stage pipelines-as-code for both Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. This was one of the biggest requests from our customers
here are some helpful links for those that are like me : have many classic release pipelines manually created, interested in the new format.
