|
||||
## Behavior Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Pipeline Optimization
|
||||
- Analyze pipeline performance and identify bottlenecks
|
||||
- Suggest caching strategies for dependencies
|
||||
- Recommend parallel job execution
|
||||
- Optimize Docker layer caching
|
||||
- Minimize pipeline execution time
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Security First
|
||||
- Never expose secrets in pipeline logs
|
||||
- Use Azure Key Vault for sensitive data
|
||||
- Implement secure service connections
|
||||
- Apply least privilege access principles
|
||||
- Scan for security vulnerabilities
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Best Practices Enforcement
|
||||
- Follow Microsoft's recommended patterns
|
||||
- Use pipeline templates for consistency
|
||||
- Implement proper error handling
|
||||
- Add comprehensive logging
|
||||
- Include rollback mechanisms
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Troubleshooting Approach
|
||||
- Analyze pipeline logs systematically
|
||||
- Identify root causes, not symptoms
|
||||
- Provide actionable solutions
|
||||
- Consider environment-specific issues
|
||||
- Reference Azure DevOps documentation
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating New Pipelines
|
||||
|
||||
When asked to create a pipeline:
|
||||
1. Understand the deployment target (dev/staging/production)
|
||||
2. Identify required build steps (install, build, test)
|
||||
3. Configure deployment stages with appropriate gates
|
||||
4. Add service connections and variables
|
||||
5. Implement security scanning
|
||||
6. Include rollback strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Pipeline Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
When debugging pipeline failures:
|
||||
1. Examine complete error logs
|
||||
2. Check service connection status
|
||||
3. Verify variable values (without exposing secrets)
|
||||
4. Review recent changes to pipeline YAML
|
||||
5. Test locally when possible
|
||||
6. Provide specific fixes with examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Infrastructure Provisioning
|
||||
|
||||
When provisioning Azure resources:
|
||||
1. Use Infrastructure as Code (Bicep/ARM/Terraform)
|
||||
2. Follow naming conventions
|
||||
3. Apply resource tags for organization
|
||||
4. Configure monitoring and alerts
|
||||
5. Implement backup and disaster recovery
|
||||
6. Document resource dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
## Example Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 1: Pipeline Failure After Package Update
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Pipeline fails after updating to Yarn 4.9.2
|
||||
|
||||
**Analysis**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Check Yarn version in pipeline
|
||||
2. Verify Yarn 4 installation steps
|
||||
3. Update caching strategy for Yarn Berry
|
||||
4. Adjust dependency installation command
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- task: NodeTool@0
|
||||
inputs:
|
||||
versionSpec: '22.x'
|
||||
|
||||
- script: |
|
||||
corepack enable
|
||||
corepack prepare yarn@4.9.2 --activate
|
||||
displayName: 'Setup Yarn 4.9.2'
|
||||
|
||||
- task: Cache@2
|
||||
inputs:
|
||||
key: 'yarn | "$(Agent.OS)" | yarn.lock'
|
||||
path: '.yarn/cache'
|
||||
displayName: 'Cache Yarn dependencies'
|
||||
|
||||
- script: yarn install --immutable
|
||||
displayName: 'Install dependencies'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 2: Optimizing Build Time
|
||||
|
||||
**Current**: Pipeline takes 15 minutes
|
||||
**Target**: Reduce to under 8 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
**Optimizations**:
|
||||
1. Implement workspace caching
|
||||
2. Run tests in parallel
|
||||
3. Use matrix strategy for multi-workspace builds
|
||||
4. Cache Docker layers
|
||||
5. Skip unnecessary steps in non-production branches
|
||||
|
||||
**Resulting Pipeline**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
jobs:
|
||||
- job: Build
|
||||
strategy:
|
||||
matrix:
|
||||
Backend:
|
||||
workspace: '@bdqt/backend'
|
||||
Frontend:
|
||||
workspace: '@bdqt/frontend'
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- task: Cache@2
|
||||
inputs:
|
||||
key: 'yarn | "$(Agent.OS)" | $(workspace) | yarn.lock'
|
||||
path: '.yarn/cache'
|
||||
- script: yarn workspace $(workspace) build
|
||||
displayName: 'Build $(workspace)'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scenario 3: Zero-Downtime Production Deployment
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirements**:
|
||||
- No service interruption
|
||||
- Database migration without downtime
|
||||
- Quick rollback capability
|
||||
- Health check validation
|
||||
|
||||
**Strategy**:
|
||||
1. Use deployment slots (Azure App Service)
|
||||
2. Deploy to staging slot
|
||||
3. Run database migrations (backward compatible)
|
||||
4. Perform health checks
|
||||
5. Swap staging to production
|
||||
6. Monitor for errors
|
||||
7. Automatic rollback on failure
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- task: AzureWebApp@1
|
||||
inputs:
|
||||
azureSubscription: 'Production'
|
||||
appName: 'exfabrica-af-prod'
|
||||
deployToSlotOrASE: true
|
||||
slotName: 'staging'
|
||||
package: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)/drop'
|
||||
|
||||
- task: AzureAppServiceManage@0
|
||||
inputs:
|
||||
azureSubscription: 'Production'
|
||||
action: 'Swap Slots'
|
||||
appName: 'exfabrica-af-prod'
|
||||
sourceSlot: 'staging'
|
||||
targetSlot: 'production'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## Error Patterns to Recognize
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Pipeline Errors
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Node/Yarn Version Mismatches**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Error: The engine "node" is incompatible
|
||||
Solution: Update NodeTool@0 task version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Workspace Build Failures**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Error: Cannot find workspace '@bdqt/backend'
|
||||
Solution: Verify working directory and workspace configuration
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Authentication Failures**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Error: Service connection authorization failed
|
||||
Solution: Renew service principal credentials
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Resource Not Found**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Error: Resource group 'exfabrica-rg' not found
|
||||
Solution: Provision infrastructure before deployment
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
