I have two stages in my Azure DevOps pipeline. One with Pulumi Preview (let's call it Preview) and one with Pulumi Up (Up) in order to run my infrastructure as code.
Both run from the same container and it takes a while to pull it. I want to manually approve the Preview before the implementation.
Can I pull and run the container for both stages simultaneously but wait for the last job of the UP-Stage until the Preview-Stage is approved?
Currently they depend on eachother as follows:
trigger:
- master
pool:
vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
stages:
- stage: Pulumi_Preview
jobs:
- job: Preview
container:
image: REGISTRY.azurecr.io/REPOSITORY:latest
endpoint: ServiceConnection
steps:
- task: Pulumi@1
displayName: pulumi preview
inputs:
azureSubscription: 'Something'
command: 'preview'
args: '--diff --show-config --show-reads --show-replacement-steps'
stack: $(pulumiStackShort)
cwd: "./"
- stage: Pulumi_Up
displayName: "Pulumi (Up)"
dependsOn: Pulumi_Preview
jobs:
- job: Up
container:
image: REGISTRY.azurecr.io/REPOSITORY:latest
endpoint: ServiceConnection
steps:
- task: Pulumi@1
inputs:
azureSubscription: 'Something'
command: 'up'
args: "--yes --skip-preview"
stack: $(pulumiStackShort)
cwd: "./"
You could use the Manual Validation Task.
Use this task in a YAML pipeline to pause a run within a stage, typically to perform some manual actions or validations, and then resume/reject the run.
jobs:
- job: waitForValidation
displayName: Wait for external validation
pool: server
timeoutInMinutes: 4320 # job times out in 3 days
steps:
- task: ManualValidation@0
timeoutInMinutes: 1440 # task times out in 1 day
inputs:
notifyUsers: |
test@test.com
example@example.com
instructions: 'Please validate the build configuration and resume'
onTimeout: 'resume'
