Azure DevOps Playground

Link: https://gitlab.com/ansible-labs/azure-devops

At Siemens, I am an Azure DevOps administrator, taking care of multiple build agents of a build farm. Some agents are of XAML type and the others are of type Azure Pipelines (AZP or VSTS), and I needed a playground to perform all kinds of experiments at will to learn more about the system.

I developed this Ansible repo to ramp up a similar environment to what I have and learn everything about Azure DevOps, and all the quirks with XAML builds and AZP builds. With it I was able to analyze the communication between agents and DevOps server and have a better understanding of the whole environment. It really helped in assimilating the whole build system and trying some builds to see the process from start to end.
