In the previous part, we looked on the Azure DevOps build pipeline and how it can be used to build a software deployable package ( Part 1 ). In this part, I will discuss Azure DevOps tasks for the release pipeline that can be used to upload the software deployable package to a project’s asset library in LCS and to deploy the asset into your LCS environment. Before we start, please make sure that you have done all the prerequisites discussed in the first part.
