Study Notes
Building a Snowflake CI/CD Pipeline in Azure DevOps
- The guide assumes a basic knowledge of Git repositories and provides a step-by-step process to build an automated deployment pipeline with Azure Pipelines to deploy database changes to Snowflake using the snowchange DCM tool.
Step 1: Create Your First Database Migration
- Create a folder named "migrations" in the cloned repository and add a script named "V1.1.1__initial_objects.sql" with specific contents.
- Commit the new script and push the changes to the Azure DevOps repository.
Step 2: Create a Library Variable Group
- In Azure Pipelines, libraries are used to store variables and files securely for use in CI/CD pipelines.
- Create a variable group named "demo-variables" and add variables for Snowflake account and credentials.
Step 3: Create and Run a Deployment Pipeline
- Create a deployment pipeline to run snowchange and deploy changes to the Snowflake database.
- Define the pipeline using YAML and configure it to use the Azure Repos Git repository and the "demo-variables" variable group.
Step 4: Create Your Second Database Migration
- Create a new script named "V1.1.2__updated_objects.sql" in the "migrations" folder with specific contents.
- Commit the new script and push the changes to the Azure DevOps repository.
