    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.
