Release notes provide essential documentation when a new software version is released. For release notes to be most effective, dev teams must consolidate all of the work that has been done since the previous release.

We have a couple of internal websites hosted on Azure. Websites that require authentication and should only be accessed from our IP. This can easily be configured using Access Restrictions in Azure. But when doing so, you exclude the dynamic IP range for Microsoft-hosted Azure DevOps build agents. In this post, I'll show you how we set up deployment to the Access Restricted websites with a bit of PowerShell magic.

Caches in Bitbucket Pipelines allows build dependencies and outputs to be stored and reused across many pipeline runs. By reusing work previously done in an initial build, subsequent builds can save time by reducing the need for fetching dependencies or performing expensive computations.

Software is more than building code. Developing software and ensuring quality builds requires managing a complete software supply chain.

This means setting up your software release cycle to include DevOps and security best practices.
