Build definition as code
Why store build definitions in YAML?
• Versioning
• Keeping Build Definitions with Code
• Branching
• Peer Review
• Reuse
• Linting
• Abstraction and Declarative Instruction
The concept of a build definition as code as it relates to a build server for continuous
integration means using an actual declarative language to define how your build should
works instead of using a web user interface to define your build steps. You can use a
general purpose programming language, a domain specific language or some other
declarative construct to indicate how your build your system.

14. 18
YAML build definition structure
name: <version number> represents the build number which we can
extract later on in the build process
queue:
name: <queue name for execution>
triggers:
<list of triggers> allows to trigger only when the required conditions
are met
variables:
<list of variables>
steps:
<our build process> defined build process
- task: <task name>
displayName: <display name>
inputs:
<input parameters if any>
