Azure data factory ci/cd release errors

Question

I am trying to deploy to the UAT environment and followed the needed steps shown in a blog post and youtube video.

However, I keep getting failures.

If I run it in 'validation only' mode it passes fine. But to actually deploy it under 'incremental' I receive the following errors

2022-03-01T17:24:27.6268601Z ##[error]At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/DeployOperations for usage details.

Answer 1

After checking I found the issue was that the values were not being passed as secure string. I had the change the pipeline variables so they were secured and it went through ok
