no copilot/AI for devops users?
When microsoft released azure static web apps, we were suck because all our orgs git repos were in azure devops, not github. So although our org spends millions a year on MS subscriptions, we had to wait a long time before we could use this amazing feature. Now it seems to be the same for copilot, its only available for companies who use and pay for github. Is there any way to get this via microsoft subscription? Our org doesnt have a github account, nor do they want one because they are a devops/microsoft house. Does anyone know if something like github copilot but available to microsoft subscribers?GitHub Shots Bootcamp Live on Microsoft Dev Radio, February 2022

When starting to leverage YAML Pipelines at scale you are most likely going to gravitate towards a solution that leverages a consolidated template repository.

If you have ever created an Azure App Service or Azure Function App that uses app settings, then you have dealt with the problem of how you are going to get those settings secure and updated correctly in each environment. You need a secure location to store this information and then be able to access it during your deployment process. Azure Key Vault and using the Azure Key Vault task inside a deployment pipeline in Azure DevOps can solve this problem for you. If you prefer video, then have a look at this as it will walk you through the steps of getting this setup.
