Thanks a lot for your comment and I really value your insight as a user of yaml pipelines yourself. To be honest I purposely picked a side for this article to see whether readers would agree or not and you definetely don’t it seems 🙂 That’s good and something I can learn from. I’ll take your suggestions and will try them out to see whether that changes my opinion. Thanks for your reply and for being a long time reader, I really appreciate it!
Cheers, Jasper

We’re using it on dozen of customers for multiple environments and we clearly don’t want to go back.
I agree that the design of “deploy_job” in order to be able to use environments could have been better (why not using the “job” feature ?).
Also, if you want a deploy button, you have so many ways to do it that there’s one that may fit your needs (pipeline triggers on tags or pull requests, environment approvals, the manual approval task https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/manual-validation?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml, webhooks and so on …). You can also have the approval button in your Slack integration 🙂
Also, as you mentioned,you can use templates in order to have common tasks/jobs/stages/pipelines in your whole organization.
Also, we’re combining the YAML pipelines with the Terraform provider for Azure DevOps in order to have a full infra as code support. Since the provider does not support all the Azure DevOps feature, you can combine it to the REST API provider https://github.com/Mastercard/terraform-provider-restapi
