Use Azure Devops Pipelines to Deploy Applications within Closed Networks

A couple of years ago, I wrote an article about a similar topic, which explored how can we use Azure Devops pipelines to deploy solutions to any server which is not exposed to internet directly. That article was based on using classic release pipeline to configure the deployment steps. With YAML based pipelines being more powerful and recommended now, when I got a similar requirement, I explored how can we achieve this using the same. There was surely some good learnings along the way. Problem Statement In this case, the requirement was a bit different than the similar implementation I […]

Initially, it looked like not an issue as many articles are there explaining how to deploy solutions on AWS servers using Azure DevOps. However, there was a catch, none of those AWS servers were exposed over internet, i.e. there was no public IP assigned! And of course the servers were behind a firewall, essentially similar to any on-premise environment. To make things even more interesting, the solution required to be deployed had a mix of […]
