This approach has been extremely successful in many engagements and we would like to share them with you, to enable your success.   [![Download Accelerator Suite!](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/707613/6c82ad90-f8fe-4a45-a4f4-e3471873e45c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/707613/6c82ad90-f8fe-4a45-a4f4-e3471873e45c) The extensions provide the[ Build/Release Pipeline](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/devops/pipelines/) tasks to provision Azure resources to support web based applications. With the included tasks you can create a Release Pipelines that provisions, on demand, the Azure Resources needed for an environment with [Azure Web App](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/app-service/web/) that is monitored  by [Application Insights](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/app-insights-overview) and uses [Azure SQL](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/sql-database/) with [Elastic Pools](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-elastic-pool) for the back-end data-store. **Advanced Accelerators** in this extension: - Azure SQL - Logical Server - Azure SQL - Database - Azure SQL - Elastic Pools - Azure App Service Configuration - Redis Cache ***Note: **This extension assumes you have already installed the **InCycle Free DevOps Accelerators** located **[here](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=InCycleSoftwareInc.extension-free-devops-accelerators) **in the Azure DevOps Marketplace. **InCycle's Free DevOps Accelerators** include tasks for: Resource Groups, App Services, App Plans, Application Insights and Azure Cosmos DB.* **Using the tasks in this extension: ** **Step 1: **Create a new release pipeline ([read how](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/get-started-designer?view=azure-devops&tabs=new-nav)) **Step 2:** Add the following DevOps Accelerators tasks to your release pipeline.  - Resource Group Create - App Service Plan - App Service - Azure SQL - Logical Server - Azure SQL - Elastic Pool - Azure SQL - Database This is and example release pipeline with the Accelerator tasks: ![IntegratedAcceleratorsPipelineVariables](https://blogs.incyclesoftware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/azure-devops-accelerators-blog-files/IntegratedAcceleratorsPipelineVariables.png?width=564&name=IntegratedAcceleratorsPipelineVariables.png)   **Note: using release pipeline variables ***"Variables give you a convenient way to get key bits of data into various parts of the pipeline. As the name suggests, the value of a variable may change from run to run or job to job of your pipeline. Almost any place where a pipeline requires a text string or a number, you can use a variable instead of hard-coding a value. The system will replace the variable with its current value during the pipeline's execution." ([Read how](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/variables?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml%2Cbatch))* InCycle DevOps accelerators come with suggested variables already build in to most tasks. To use them simply add them to the **Variables** tab of the release pipeline and set their values for your environment.  **Step 3:** update input variables and/or create the release pipeline variables listed below and set their value to your unique values. **Suggested Release Pipeline Variables:** - ReleaseVariables.ResourceGroupName - ReleaseVariables.Location - ReleaseVariables.AppPlanName - ReleaseVariables.AppServiceName - ReleaseVariables.SqlServerName - ReleaseVariables.SqlServerLogin - ReleaseVariables.SqlServerLoginPassword - ReleaseVariables.ElasticPoolName - ReleaseVariables.SqlDatabaseName Example of pipeline variables with values ![IntegratedAcceleratorsPipelineVariables-1](https://blogs.incyclesoftware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/azure-devops-accelerators-blog-files/IntegratedAcceleratorsPipelineVariables-1.png?width=729&name=IntegratedAcceleratorsPipelineVariables-1.png) **Step 4:** Save and run the release pipeline. The task will create a environment with the values specified. You can view the newly created resource via the Azure Portal.
