In development

This repository contains sample code you can use to create your own governed pipelines for deploying Azure solutions. To learn more about PSRule for Azure, see https://aka.ms/ps-rule-azure.

Building enterprise scale pipelines can be challenging. Without a standard approach, pipelines can become complex and difficult to maintain. Governed pipelines provides a set of patterns to help you build and maintain pipelines for deploying Azure solutions.

• Who should consider using governed pipelines? — Any organzation that need to scale one or two pipelines to many.
• Why use governed pipelines? — A central set of governed pipelines allows you to manage quality and security across projects or teams.
• What systems are supported? — In the current interation governed pipelines support Azure Pipelines. In the future we plan to add support for GitHub Actions.

Governed Pipelines allow an organization to enforce controls within deployment pipelines by extending on built-in features of Azure and GitHub.

Pipelines must prove they have extended from a secure pipeline that enforces an organization's DevSecOps requirements.

• When a pipeline extends from a governed pipeline it is entitled to use credentials with permissions to deploy to Azure.
• If the pipeline does not use a governed pipeline the credentials are not provides to the pipeline and deployment is blocked.

The implementation for Azure Piplines and GitHub Action is slightly different as follows:

• Azure Pipelines — Security through templates requires a specific pipeline template to be used.
• GitHub Actions (available in the future) — Open ID Connect with reusable workflows requires a specific workflow template to be used.
